We deal with the graph operator Pow₂ defined to be the complement of the square of a graph: Pow₂(G) = Pow₂(G). Motivated by one of many open problems formulated in [6] we look for graphs that are 2-periodic with respect to this operator. We describe a class of bipartite graphs possessing the above mentioned property and prove that for any m,n ≥ 6, the complete bipartite graph K_m,n can be decomposed in two edge-disjoint factors from . We further show that all the incidence graphs of Desarguesian finite projective geometries belong to and find infinitely many graphs also belonging to among generalized hypercubes.
Keywords: graph operator, power and complement of a graph, Desarguesian finite projective geometry, decomposition of a complete bipartite graph, generalized hypercube
