Abstract
Let Meta(H > T, λ) denote the set of all integers v such that there exists a (H > T)-GM λ (v). In this paper, the set Meta(H > T, λ) will be completely determined for the following 21 pairs (H, T) = (H 1, P 2), (H 2, 2P 2), (H 3, P 3) and (H 4, P 4), where \({P_2 \subset H_1 \subseteq K_4, H_2 \in \{K_4, C_4, K_3+e, P_4\} = {\mathcal {H}}, H_3 \in {\mathcal {H}} \cup \{K_3, K_{1,3} \}}\) and \({H_4 \in \{K_4, C_4\}}\) .
