The tree partition number of an r‐edge‐colored graph G, denoted by tr(G), is the minimum number k such that whenever the edges of G are colored with r colors, the vertices of G can be covered by at most k vertex‐disjoint monochromatic trees. We determine t2(K(n1, n2,…, nk)) of the complete k‐partite graph K(n1, n2,…, nk). In particular, we prove that t2(K(n, m)) = ⌊ (m‐2)/2n⌋ + 2, where 1 ≤ n ≤ m. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
