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…

Let $r \ge 3$ be fixed and $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. A long-standing conjecture of Gy\H{o}ri states that if $e(G) = t_{r-1}(n) + k$, where $t_{r-1}(n)$ denotes the number of edges of the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices and $r - 1$ parts,…

We consider a variation of balls-into-bins which randomly allocates $m$ balls into $n$ bins. Following Godfrey's model (SODA, 2008), we assume that each ball $t$, $1\le t\le m$, comes with a hypergraph…

In 2019, P. Higgins formulated [1] a question about bipartite graphs (see Conjecture 1 below); this question arises in the study of regular finite semigroups. F. V. Petrov formulated [2] another combinatorial conjecture (Conjecture 3);…

The blow-up of a graph is obtained by replacing every vertex with a finite collection of copies so that the copies of two vertices are adjacent if and only if the originals are. If every vertex is replaced with the same number of copies,…

The biclique partition number of a graph $G= (V,E)$, denoted $bp(G)$, is the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ so that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that $…

We study the problem of partitioning the edge set of the complete graph into bipartite subgraphs under certain constraints defined by forbidden subgraphs. These constraints lead to both classical problems, such as partitioning into…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Nordhaus-Gaddum inequailties relate a graph $G$ to its complement $\bar{G}$. In this spirit Wagner…

The nearly complete bipartite graph $G(m,n,k)$ is obtained by removing $k$ independent edges from the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$. In this paper, we prove that for any nearly complete bipartite graph $G(m,n,k)$ with $m, n\geq 3$, and…

In this note, we introduce a family of bipartite graphs called path restricted ordered bipartite graphs and present it as an abstract generalization of some well known geometric graphs like unit distance graphs on convex point sets. In the…

A bipartite graph $G=(L,R;E)$ with at least one edge is said to be identifiable if for every vertex $v\in L$, the subgraph induced by its non-neighbors has a matching of cardinality $|L|-1$. An $\ell$-subgraph of $G$ is an induced subgraph…

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 consider a Polya urn, started with b black and w white balls, where b>w. We compute the probability that there are ever the same number of black and white balls in the urn, and show that it is twice the probability of getting no more…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

A balanced graph is a bipartite graph with no induced circuit of length 2 mod 4. These graphs arise in linear programming. We focus on graph-algebraic properties of balanced graphs to prove a complete classification of balanced Cayley…

Given a graph $F$, we define $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ to be the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of the random graph $G_{n,p}$. Very little is known about $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ when $F$ is bipartite, with…

The approach mapping from a matching of bipartite graphs to digraphs has been successfully used for forcing set problem, in this paper, it is extended to uniquely restricted matching problem. We show to determine a uniquely restricted…

A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A well-covered graph $G$ is called uniformly well-covered if there is a partition of the set of vertices of $G$ such that each maximal…

We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…

Given a graph $G$, two edges $e_{1},e_{2}\in E(G)$ are said to have a common edge $e$ if $e$ joins an endvertex of $e_{1}$ to an endvertex of $e_{2}$. A subset $B\subseteq E(G)$ is an edge open packing set in $G$ if no two edges of $B$ have…
