Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…
A bihole in a bipartite graph $G$ with partite sets $A$ and $B$ is an independent set $I$ in $G$ with $|I\cap A|=|I\cap B|$. We prove lower bounds on the largest order of biholes in balanced bipartite graphs subject to conditions involving…
A pseudo $(v,\, k,\, \la)$-design is a pair $(X, {\cal B})$ where $X$ is a $v$-set and ${\cal B}=\{B_1,...,B_{v-1}\}$ is a collection of $k$-subsets (blocks) of $X$ such that each two distinct $B_i, B_j$ intersect in $\la$ elements; and…
Let $\mathscr{B}_n = \{ \pm x_1, \pm x_2, \pm x_3, \cdots, \pm x_{n-1}, x_n \}$ where $n>1$ is fixed, $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^+$, $i = 1, 2, 3, \cdots, n$ and $x_1 < x_2 < x_3 < \cdots < x_n$. Let $\phi(\mathscr{B}_n)$ be the set of all…
A graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that, for any two distinct letters $x, y \in V$, the letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if and only if $xy \in E$. A graph is…
Bipartite graphs model the relationships between two disjoint sets of entities in several applications and are naturally drawn as 2-layer graph drawings. In such drawings, the two sets of entities (vertices) are placed on two parallel lines…
We enumerate factorisations of the complete bipartite graph into spanning semiregular graphs in several cases, including when the degrees of all the factors except one or two are small. The resulting asymptotic behaviour is seen to…
Let $n\geq 6,k\geq 0$ be two integers. Let $H$ be a graph of order $n$ with $k$ components, each of which is an even cycle of length at least $6$ and $G$ be a bipartite graph with bipartition $(X,Y)$ such that $|X|=|Y|\geq n/2$. In this…
The interplay between groups and graphs have been the most famous and productive area of algebraic graph theory. In this paper, we introduce and study the graphs whose vertex set is group G such that two distinct vertices a and b having…
Let $k$ be a positive integer and let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. A subset $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-dominating set if every vertex outside $D$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $D$. The $k$-domination number…
We study the problem of generating graphs with prescribed degree sequences for bipartite, directed, and undirected networks. We first propose a sequential method for bipartite graph generation and establish a necessary and sufficient…
In this paper, we study a bipartite analogue of the `random graphs evolving by degrees' process. We are given a bipartitioned set of vertices $V$ into two disjoint parts ${L}$ and ${R}$ and possibly unequal positive constants $\alpha$ and…
A set of vertices X of a graph G is convex if it contains all vertices on shortest paths between vertices of X. We prove that for fixed p, all partitions of the vertex set of a bipartite graph into p convex sets can be found in polynomial…
A bipartite graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=V_1\cup V_2$ is biregular if all the vertices of each stable set, $V_1$ and $V_2$, have the same degree, $r$ and $s$, respectively. This paper studies difference sets derived from both Abelian and…
A half-square of a bipartite graph $B=(X,Y,E_B)$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. If $G=(V,E_G)$ is the half-square of a planar bipartite graph…
The prime-coprime graph $\Theta(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph with vertex set $G$, where two distinct elements are adjacent whenever the greatest common divisor of their orders is either $1$ or a prime. We characterize all…
A graph is 1-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Let G be a bipartite 1-planar graph with partite sets X and Y. A 1-disk OX drawing of G is a 1-planar drawing such that all vertices of X…
Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the elements $G$ and where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if there exists a minimal generating set of $G$ containing $x$ and $y.$ We prove that…
In this paper, we establish a couple of results on extremal problems in bipartite graphs. Firstly, we show that every sufficiently large bipartite graph with average degree $D$ and with $n$ vertices on each side has a balanced independent…
We present a sufficient condition for a pair of finite integer sequences to be degree sequences of a bipartite graph, based only on the lengths of the sequences and their largest and smallest elements.
