Let t ( G , q ) denote the smallest integer t such that the vertex set V of the graph G can be partitioned into t classes V ( G )=⋓ t i =1 V i such that the number of edges in the induced subgraph 〈 V i 〉 for 1⩽ i ⩽ t , is divisible by q . Using an algebraic theorem due to Baker and Schmidt we prove that if q is a prime power then t ( G , q ) can be computed and a corresponding partition can be presented in a polynomial time.
