Edge Colorings of K(m,n) with m+n-1 Colors Which Forbid Rainbow Cycles

For positive integers m, n, the greatest number of colors that can appear in an edge coloring of K(m,n) which avoids rainbow cycles is m + n - 1. Here these colorings are constructively characterized. It turns out that these colorings can be encoded by certain vertex labelings of full binary trees w...
