The double Hall property and cycle covers in bipartite graphs
Abstract
In a graph , the -neighborhood of a vertex set consists of all vertices of having at least neighbors in . We say that a bipartite graph satisfies the double Hall property if , and every subset of size at least has a -neighborhood of size at least . Salia conjectured that any bipartite graph satisfying the double Hall property contains a cycle covering . Here, we prove the existence of a -factor covering in any bipartite graph satisfying the double Hall property. We also show Salia's conjecture for graphs with restricted degrees of vertices in . Additionally, we prove a lower bound on the number of edges in a graph satisfying the double Hall property, and the bound is sharp up to a constant factor.
