Almost partitioning a 3-edge-coloured $K_{n,n}$ into 5 monochromatic cycles

Combinatorics 2016-11-18 v3

Abstract

We show that for any colouring of the edges of the complete bipartite graph Kn,nK_{n,n} with 3 colours there are 5 disjoint monochromatic cycles which together cover all but o(n)o(n) of the vertices. In the same situation, 18 disjoint monochromatic cycles together cover all vertices.
