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…

We study the Maximum Bipartite Subgraph (MBS) problem, which is defined as follows. Given a set $S$ of $n$ geometric objects in the plane, we want to compute a maximum-size subset $S'\subseteq S$ such that the intersection graph of the…

In this paper we consider the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a d-regular bipartite graph on 2n nodes with m=nd edges. The best-known algorithm for general bipartite graphs (due to Hopcroft and Karp) takes time…

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…

A bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is convex if the vertices in $V$ can be linearly ordered such that for each vertex $u\in U$, the neighbors of $u$ are consecutive in the ordering of $V$. An induced matching $H$ of $G$ is a matching such that…
