Unavoidable patterns in $2$-colorings of the complete bipartite graph
Abstract
We determine the colored patterns that appear in any -edge coloring of , with large enough and with sufficient edges in each color. We prove the existence of a positive integer such that any -edge coloring of with at least edges in each color contains at least one of these patterns. We give a general upper bound for and prove its tightness for some cases. We define the concepts of bipartite -tonality and bipartite omnitonality using the complete bipartite graph as a base graph. We provide a characterization for bipartite -tonal graphs and prove that every tree is bipartite omnitonal. Finally, we define the bipartite balancing number and provide the exact bipartite balancing number for paths and stars.
