Abstract

Let IGK[x1,...,xm]I_{G} \subset K[x_{1},...,x_{m}] be the toric ideal associated to a finite graph GG. In this paper we study the binomial arithmetical rank and the GG-homogeneous arithmetical rank of IGI_G in 2 cases: GG is bipartite, IGI_G is generated by quadratic binomials. In both cases we prove that the binomial arithmetical rank and the GG-arithmetical rank coincide with the minimal number of generators of IGI_G.
