Bipartite graphs with the double Hall property
Abstract
The super-neighborhood of a vertex set in a graph , denoted by , is the set of vertices adjacent to at least two vertices in . We say that a bipartite graph with satisfies the double Hall property (with respect to ) if for any subset with . Kostochka et al. first conjectured that if a bipartite graph satisfies a slightly weaker version of the double Hall property, then contains a cycle that covers all vertices of . They verified their conjecture for . In this paper, we extend their result to . Later, Salia conjectured that every bipartite graph satisfying the double Hall property has a cycle covering all vertices of . We show that Salia's conjecture is almost equivalent to a much weaker conjecture requiring vertices in to have high degrees. By extending a result of Bar\'at et al., we also show that Salia's conjecture holds for some graphs where the vertices of have degree either or very high. Finally, we establish a lower bound for the maximum degree of graphs satisfying the double Hall property and present deterministic and probabilistic constructions of such graphs that approach this bound.
