Abstract

Let II and OO denote two sets of vertices, where IO=I\cap O =\emptyset, I=n|I| = n, O=r|O| = r, and Bu(n,r)B_u(n,r) denote the set of unlabeled graphs whose edges connect vertices in II and OO. Recently, it was established in\cite{atmacaoruc2018} that the following two-sided equality holds, \begin{equation} \label{mainResult} \displaystyle \frac{\binom{r+2^{n}-1}{r}}{n!}\, \le\, |B_u(n,r)|\, \le\, 2\frac{\binom{r+2^{n}-1}{r}}{n!},\, n < r.\nonumber \end{equation} and exact formulas were provided in~\cite{atmaca2017size} for Bu(2,r)|B_u(2,r)| and Bu(3,r).|B_u(3,r)|. In this paper, these results are extended to various families of labeled bipartite graphs.
