For applied scientists and engineers, graph theory is a strong and vital tool for evaluating and inventing solutions for a variety of
issues. Graph theory is extremely important in complex systems, particularly in computer science. Many scientific areas use graph
theory, including biological sciences, engineering, coding, and operational research. A strategy for the orthogonal labelling of a
bipartite graph G with n edges has been proposed in the literature, yielding cyclic decompositions of balanced complete
bipartite graphs K

by the graph G. A generalization to circulant-balanced complete multipartite graphs K

K

to a generalized orthogonal labelling approach that may be used for decomposing K

1. Introduction
As is well known, discrete mathematics is a field of mathemat-
ics that deals with countable processes and components. One of
the most significant and intriguing disciplines in discrete math-
ematics is graph theory [1–3]. Graph theory is the study of
structural models called graphs, which are made up of a collec-
tion of vertices and edges. Graph theory is extremely important
in complex systems, particularly in computer science. Many
scientific areas use graph theory, including engineering, coding
[4, 5], operational research, biological sciences, and manage-
ment sciences. For applied scientists and engineers, graph the-
ory is a strong and vital science for evaluating and inventing
solutions for a variety of issues. Graphs have recently been uti-
lized as structural models for characterizing World Wide Web
connections and the number of links necessary to move
between web pages [6].
Circulant graphs are a significant category of graphs [7–10].
Circulant graphs have gained a lot of attention in recent
decades. The circulant graphs class includes complete graphs
and classic rings topologies. The algebraic properties of circulant
graphs have been studied in thousands of publications. Circu-
lant graphs have been handled in a variety of graph applications,
including wide area communication graphs, local area com-
puter graphs, parallel processing architectures, very large-scale
integrated circuit design, and distributed computing [11–13].
Several traditional parallel and distributed systems were
built on the foundation of circulant graphs [14–16]. Circulant
graphs have a wide range of practical uses, such as a structure
in chemical reaction models [17], multiprocessor cluster
