An undirected biclique $K_{a,b}$ is a graph with vertices partitioned into two sets: a set $A$ containing $a$ vertices and a set $B$ containing $b$ vertices such that every vertex in set $A$ is connected to every vertex in set $B$, and such…
A d-biclique cover of a graph G is a collection of bicliques of G such that each edge of G is in at least d of the bicliques. The number of bicliques in a minimum d-biclique cover of G is called the d-biclique covering number of G and is…
The biclique cover number $(\text{bc})$ of a graph $G$ denotes the minimum number of complete bipartite (biclique) subgraphs to cover all the edges of the graph. In this paper, we show that $\text{bc}(G) \geq \lceil \log_2(\text{mc}(G^c))…
An ordered biclique partition of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices is a collection of bicliques (i.e., complete bipartite graphs) such that (i) every edge of $K_n$ is covered by at least one and at most two bicliques in the…
The biclique cover number (resp. biclique partition number) of a graph $G$, $\mathrm{bc}(G$) (resp. $\mathrm{bp}(G)$), is the least number of biclique (complete bipartite) subgraphs that are needed to cover (resp. partition) the edges of…
The biclique covering number of a bipartite graph G is the minimum number of complete bipartite subgraphs (bicliques) whose union contains every edge of G. In this little note we compare three lower bounds on the biclique covering number: A…
Consider a graph $G$ with chromatic number $k$ and a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, that cover the edges of $G$. We prove the following two results: \medskip \noindent $\bullet$ If the bicliques partition the edges…
A biclique of a graph $G$ is a maximal induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$. The biclique graph of $G$ denoted by $KB(G)$, is the intersection graph of all the bicliques of $G$. The biclique graph can be thought as an operator between…
For a graph $G$, let $cp(G)$ denote the minimum number of cliques of $G$ needed to cover the edges of $G$ exactly once. Similarly, let $bp_k(G)$ denote the minimum number of bicliques (i.e. complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$) needed to…
The minimum number of bicliques needed to cover the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$. The Graham-Pollak theorem states that at least $n-1$ bicliques are required to partition the edge set of the…
Given a finite simple graph $G$, an odd cover of $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, in which each edge of $G$ appears in an odd number of bicliques and each non-edge of $G$ appears in an even number of…
There are three usual definitions of a maximum bipartite clique (biclique) in a bipartite graph\,: either maximizing the number of vertices, or of edges, or finding a maximum balanced biclique. The first problem can be solved in polynomial…
A biclique of a graph is a maximal complete bipartite subgraph. The biclique graph of a graph $G$, $KB(G)$, defined as the intersection graph of the bicliques of $G$, was introduced and characterized in 2010. However, this characterization…
A complete graph is the graph in which every two vertices are adjacent. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, the complete width of $G$ is the minimum $k$ such that there exist $k$ independent sets $\mathtt{N}_i\subseteq V$, $1\le i\le k$, such that the…
A biclique of a graph $G$ is an induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$ such that neither part is empty. A star is a biclique of $G$ such that one part has exactly one vertex. The star graph of $G$ is the intersection graph of the…
Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, the $k$-biclique problem asks whether $G$ contains a complete bipartite subgraph $K_{k,k}$. This is the most easily stated problem on graphs whose parameterized complexity is still unknown. We provide…
The problem of identifying the maximum edge biclique in bipartite graphs has attracted considerable attention in bipartite graph analysis, with numerous real-world applications such as fraud detection, community detection, and online…
A \textit{biclique} is a maximal induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$. The \textit{biclique graph} of a graph $G$, denoted by $KB(G)$, is the intersection graph of the family of all bicliques of $G$. In this work we study some…
For a binary code $\Gamma$ of length $v$, a $v$-word $w$ produces by a set of codewords $\{w^1,...,w^r\} \subseteq \Gamma$ if for all $i=1,...,v$, we have $w_i\in \{w_i^1, ..., w_i^r\}$ . We call a code $r$-secure frameproof of size $t$ if…
A biclique of a graph $G$ is a maximal induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$. The edge-biclique graph of $G$, $KB_e(G)$, is the edge-intersection graph of the bicliques of $G$. A graph $G$ diverges (resp. converges or is periodic)…
