A bi-hole of size $t$ in a bipartite graph $G$ is a copy of $K_{t,t}$ in the bipartite complement of $G$. Given an $n \times n$ bipartite graph $G$, let $\beta(G)$ be the largest $k$ for which $G$ has a bi-hole of size $k$. We prove that \[…

Let $q=p^e$, where $p$ is a prime and $e\geq 1$ is an integer. For $m\geq 1$, let $P$ and $L$ be two copies of the $(m+1)$-dimensional vector spaces over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Consider the bipartite graph $W_m(q)$ with partite…

A graph $X$ is said to be chordal bipartite if it is bipartite and contains no induced cycle of length at least $6$. It is proved that if $X$ does not contain bipartite claw as an induced subgraph, then the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of $X$…

A graph $A$ is "apex" if $A-z$ is planar for some vertex $z\in V(A)$. Eppstein [Algorithmica, 2000] showed that for a minor-closed class $\mathcal{G}$, the graphs in $\mathcal{G}$ with bounded radius have bounded treewidth if and only if…

For a bipartite graph G, let h(G) be the largest t such that either G or the bipartite complement of G contain K_{t,t}. For a class F of graphs, let h(F)= min {h(G): G\in F}. We say that a bipartite graph H is strongly acyclic if neither H…

Let ${\rm ex \,} {\mathcal B}$ be a minor-closed class of graphs with a set ${\mathcal B}$ of minimal excluded minors. We study (a) the asymptotic number of graphs without $k+1$ disjoint minors in ${\mathcal B}$ and (b) the properties of a…

For positive integers $a$ and $b$, a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable if, for each assignment of lists of $a$ colors to the vertices of $G,$ each vertex can be colored with a set of $b$ colors from its list so that adjacent vertices are…

In this paper, we deal with the signed bad number and the negative decision number of graphs. We show that two upper bounds concerning these two parameters for bipartite graphs in papers [Discrete Math. Algorithms Appl. 1 (2011), 33--41]…

We show that planar graphs have bounded queue-number, thus proving a conjecture of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg from 1992. The key to the proof is a new structural tool called layered partitions, and the result that every planar graph has…

A complete structural characterization of graphs with no $K_{3,4}$ minor is obtained, and the following consequences are established. Every $4$-connected non-planar graph with at least seven vertices and minimum degree at least five…

An antimagic labelling of a graph is a bijection from the set of edges to $\{1, 2, \ldots , m\}$, such that all vertex-sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex-sum of a vertex is the sum of labels on the edges incident to it. We say a…

We prove that consistently every bipartite graph of size $\kappa^+\times\kappa^+$ contains either a clique or an independent subset of size $\tau\times\tau$ for every $\tau\in\kappa^+$, where $\kappa$ is a successor cardinal.

Binary classification problems can be naturally modeled as bipartite graphs, where we attempt to classify right nodes based on their left adjacencies. We consider the case of labeled bipartite graphs in which some labels and edges are not…

We call a bipartite graph {\it homogeneous} if every finite partial automorphism which respects left and right can be extended to a total automorphism. A $(\kappa,{\lambda} )$ bipartite graph is a bipartite graph with left side of size…

Linear rank-width is a graph width parameter, which is a variation of rank-width by restricting its tree to a caterpillar. As a corollary of known theorems, for each $k$, there is a finite obstruction set $\mathcal{O}_k$ of graphs such that…

By a probabilistic construction, we find a bipartite graph having average degree $d$ which can be expressed as a conjunctive normal form using $C \log d$ clauses. This contradicts research problem 1.33 of Jukna.

The aim of this paper is to show that any finite undirected bipartite graph can be considered as a polynomial $p \in \mathbb{N}[x]$, and any directed finite bipartite graph can be considered as a polynomial $p\in\mathbb{N}[x,y]$, and vise…

In this paper, we investigate the set of sizes of induced subgraphs of bipartite graphs. We introduce the definition of $C$-$Bipartite$-$Ramsey$ graphs, which is closely related to Ramsey graphs and prove that in `most' cases, these graphs…

A hypermap is bipartite if its set of flags can be divided into two parts A and B so that both A and B are the union of vertices, and consecutive vertices around an edge or a face are contained in alternate parts. A bipartite hypermap is…

It is well-known that in every $r$-coloring of the edges of the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ there is a monochromatic connected component with at least ${m+n\over r}$ vertices. In this paper we study an extension of this problem by…
