Abstract

Inspired by connections described in a recent paper by Mark L. Lewis, between the common divisor graph \Ga(X)\Ga(X) and the prime vertex graph Δ(X)\Delta(X), for a set XX of positive integers, we define the bipartite divisor graph B(X)B(X), and show that many of these connections flow naturally from properties of B(X)B(X). In particular we establish links between parameters of these three graphs, such as number and diameter of components, and we characterise bipartite graphs that can arise as B(X)B(X) for some XX. Also we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of subconfigurations of B(X)B(X), for one Γ(X)\Gamma(X) or Δ(X)\Delta(X) to contain a complete subgraph of size 3 or 4.
