Abstract

Let \(\lambda K_v\) be the complete graph on v vertices in which each pair of vertices is joined by exactly \(\lambda \) edges. An m-cycle system of \(\lambda K_v\) is a collection \({\mathscr {C}}\) of cycles of length m whose edges partition the edges of \(\lambda K_v\). An m-cycle system \({\mathscr {C}}\) of \(\lambda K_v\) is said to be resolvable if the m-cycles in \({\mathscr {C}}\) can be partitioned into parallel classes \({\mathscr {R}}= \{R_1,R_2,\ldots ,R_{\lambda (v-1)/2}\}\) and \({\mathscr {C}}\) is denoted by \((v,m,\lambda )\)-RCS, \({\mathscr {R}}\) is called a resolution. If a \((v,m,\lambda )\)-RCS has a pair of orthogonal resolutions, it is said to be doubly resolvable and is denoted by \((v, m,\lambda )\)-DRCS. In this paper, applying direct constructions and recursive constructions, we show that a (v, 4, 2)-DRCS exists if and only if \( v \equiv 0\pmod 4\).
