An $(a,b)$-biregular bipartite graph is a bipartite graph with bipartition $(X, Y)$ such that each vertex in $X$ has degree $a$ and each vertex in $Y$ has degree $b$. By the bipartite expander mixing lemma, biregular bipartite graphs have…

Let $F$ be an $(r+1)$-color critical graph with $r\geq 2$, that is, $\chi(F)=r+1$ and there is an edge $e$ in $F$ such that $\chi(F-e)=r$. Gerbner recently conjectured that every $n$-vertex maximal $F$-free graph with at least…

Existence of a perfect matching in a random bipartite digraph with bipartition $(V_1, V_2)$, $|V_i|=n$, is studied. The graph is generated in two rounds of random selections of a potential matching partner such that the average number of…

We prove that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ admits a partition of its edges into $O(\sqrt{\Delta})$ parts (as $\Delta\to\infty$) none of which contains $C_4$ as a subgraph. This bound is sharp up to a constant factor. Our proof…

Consider a random bipartite multigraph $G$ with $n$ left nodes and $m \geq n \geq 2$ right nodes. Each left node $x$ has $d_x \geq 1$ random right neighbors. The average left degree $\Delta$ is fixed, $\Delta \geq 2$. We ask whether for the…

Alon and Krivelevich conjectured that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, then the choosability (or list chromatic number) of $G$ satisfies $\chi_{\ell}(G) = O \left ( \log \Delta \right )$. Currently, the best known…

We prove that for any $r\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a constant $C_r$ such that the following is true. Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_1,F_2,\dots\}$ be an infinite sequence of bipartite graphs such that $|V(F_i)|=i$ and $\Delta(F_i)\leq \Delta$ hold…

We consider a natural, yet seemingly not much studied, extremal problem in bipartite graphs. A bi-hole of size $t$ in a bipartite graph $G$ is a copy of $K_{t, t}$ in the bipartite complement of $G$. Let $f(n, \Delta)$ be the largest $k$…

In a recent breakthrough, Zhang proves that if $G$ is an $H$-free graph with $m$ edges, then $G$ has a cut of size at least $m/2+c_Hm^{0.5001}$, making a significant step towards a well known conjecture of Alon, Bollob\'as, Krivelevich and…

A coloring of a complete bipartite graph is shuffle-preserved if it is the case that assigning a color $c$ to edges $(u, v)$ and $(u', v')$ enforces the same color assignment for edges $(u, v')$ and $(u',v)$. (In words, the induced subgraph…

A strong edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring in which each color class is an induced matching of $G$. In 1993, Brualdi and Quinn Massey proposed a conjecture that every bipartite graph without $4$-cycles and with the…

For a graph $G$, denote by $t_r(G)$ (resp. $b_r(G)$) the maximum size of a $K_r$-free (resp. $(r-1)$-partite) subgraph of $G$. Of course $t_r(G) \geq b_r(G)$ for any $G$, and Tur\'an's Theorem says that equality holds for complete graphs.…

For a graph $G$ and $p\in[0,1]$, we denote by $G_p$ the random sparsification of $G$ obtained by keeping each edge of $G$ independently, with probability $p$. We show that there exists a $C>0$ such that if $p\geq C(\log n)^{1/3}n^{-2/3}$…

We prove a sharp upper bound for the number of high degree differences in bipartite graphs: let $ (U, V, E)$ be a bipartite graph with $U=\{u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n\}$ and $V=\{v_1, v_2, \dots, v_n\}$; for $n\ge k>\frac{n}{2}$ we show that…

A graph $G$ is said to have \textit{bandwidth} at most $b$, if there exists a labeling of the vertices by $1,2,..., n$, so that $|i - j| \leq b$ whenever $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. Recently, B\"{o}ttcher, Schacht, and Taraz verified a…
