The anti-Ramsey number of $C_{3}$ and $C_{4}$ in the complete $r$-partite graphs.

A subgraph of an edge-colored graph is rainbow, if all of its edges have different colors. For a graph $G$ and a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(G, \mathcal{H})$ is the maximum number $k$ such that there exists an edge-coloring of $G$ with exactly $k$ colors without rainbow copy of any graph in $\mathcal{H}$. In this paper, we study the anti-Ramsey number of $C_{3}$ and $C_{4}$ in the complete $r$-partite graphs. For $r\ge 3$ and $n_{1}\ge n_{2}\ge \cdots\ge n_{r}\ge 1$, we determine $ ar(K_{n_{1}, n_{2}, \ldots, n_{r}},\{C_{3}, C_{4}\}), ar(K_{n_{1}, n_{2}, \ldots, n_{r}}, C_{3})$ and $ar(K_{n_{1}, n_{2}, \ldots, n_{r}}, C_{4})$.
