Answering a question of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal, Chen and Ma proved that for all \(n\geq600\) every graph with \(2n + 1\) vertices and at least \(n^2 + n+1\) edges contains two vertices of equal degree connected by a path of length three. The…

In his study of graph codes, Alon introduced the concept of the odd-Ramsey number of a family of graphs $\mathcal{H}$ in $K_n$, defined as the minimum number of colours needed to colour the edges of $K_n$ so that every copy of a graph $H\in…

Given a bipartite graph, the maximum balanced biclique (\textsf{MBB}) problem, discovering a mutually connected while equal-sized disjoint sets with the maximum cardinality, plays a significant role for mining the bipartite graph and has…

Let $I$ and $O$ denote two sets of vertices, where $I\cap O =\emptyset$, $|I| = n$, $|O| = r$, and $B_u(n,r)$ denote the set of unlabeled graphs whose edges connect vertices in $I$ and $O$. Recently, it was established…

A $k$-edge-coloured graph is colour-balanced if each colour appears equally often. Resolving a conjecture of Pardey and Rautenbach, we show that any colour-balanced $k$-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{2kt}$ contains a perfect matching that…

A maximum weighted matching for bipartite graphs $G=(A \cup B,E)$ can be found by using the algorithm of Edmonds and Karp with a Fibonacci Heap and a modified Dijkstra in $O(nm + n^2 \log{n})$ time where n is the number of nodes and m the…

We study three new versions of the All-Ones Problem and the Minimum All-Ones Problem. The original All-Ones Problem is simply called the Vertex-Vertex Problem, and the three new versions are called the Vertex-Edge Problem, the Edge-Vertex…

There are extensive studies focusing on the application scenario that all the bipartite cohesive subgraphs need to be discovered in a bipartite graph. However, we observe that, for some applications, one is interested in finding bipartite…

This paper considers an edge minimization problem in saturated bipartite graphs. An $n$ by $n$ bipartite graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$ but adding any missing edge to $G$ creates a copy of…

A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$,…

A subgraph in an edge-colored graph is multicolored if all its edges receive distinct colors. In this paper, we study the proper edge-colorings of the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ which forbid multicolored cycles. Mainly, we prove…

Consider the random process in which the edges of a graph $G$ are added one by one in a random order. A classical result states that if $G$ is the complete graph $K_{2n}$ or the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$, then typically a perfect…

In the Edge Bipartization problem one is given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the question is whether $k$ edges can be deleted from $G$ so that it becomes bipartite. In 2006, Guo et al. [J. Comput. Syst. Sci.,…

The odd-red bipartite perfect matching problem asks to find a perfect matching containing an odd number of red edges in a given red-blue edge-colored bipartite graph. While this problem lies in $\mathsf{P}$, its polyhedral structure remains…

Our goal is to investigate a close relative of the independent transversal problem in the class of infinite $K_n$-free graphs: we show that for any infinite $K_n$-free graph $G=(V,E)$ and $m\in \mathbb N$ there is a minimal $r=r(G,m)$ such…

A graph is said to be nearly complete bipartite if it can be obtained by deleting a set of independent edges from a complete bipartite graph. The nonorientable genus of such graphs is known except in a few cases where the sizes of the…
