چکیده

Let $K_{{r},{s},{t}}$ be a complete tripartite graph with $r\leq s \leq t$‎. ‎Let $C_{k}$ and $S_{k}$ respectively denote a cycle and a star with $k$ edges‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of $\left\{pC_{3},qS_{3}\right\}$‎ -‎decomposition of $K_{{r},{s},{t}}$ for all possible values of $p,q\geq0$‎.
