Abstract

Let kk be a positive integer. Let GG be a balanced bipartite graph of order 2n2n with bipartition (X,Y)(X, Y), and SS a subset of XX. Suppose that every pair of nonadjacent vertices (x,y)(x,y) with xS,yYx\in S, y\in Y satisfies d(x)+d(y)n+1d(x)+d(y)\geq n+1. We show that if S2k+2|S|\geq 2k+2, then GG contains kk disjoint cycles covering SS such that each of the kk cycles contains at least two vertices of SS. Here, both the degree condition and the lower bound of S|S| are best possible. And we also show that if S=2k+1|S|=2k+1, then GG contains kk disjoint cycles such that each of the kk cycles contains at least two vertices of SS.
