The biclique partition number of a graph \(G\), denoted \( \operatorname{bp}(G)\), is the minimum number of biclique subgraphs that partition the edge set of \(G\). The Graham-Pollak theorem states that the complete graph on \( n \)…

The biclique partition number $(\text{bp})$ of a graph $G$ is referred to as the least number of complete bipartite (biclique) subgraphs that are required to cover the edges of the graph exactly once. In this paper, we show that 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 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 $…

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 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))…

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 in a graph $G$ is a complete bipartite subgraph (not necessarily induced), and the least positive integer $k$ for which the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into at most $k$ bicliques is the biclique vertex partition number…

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…

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…

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…

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…

A \emph{biclique} is a maximal bipartite complete induced subgraph of $G$. Bicliques have been studied in the last years motivated by the large number of applications. In particular, enumeration of the maximal bicliques has been of interest…

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…

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…

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…

Let $K$ be a set of $k$ positive integers. A biclique cover of type $K$ of a graph $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ such that for every edge $e$ of $G$, the number of bicliques need to cover $e$ is a member of $K$.…

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…

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…

Given $k\ge 1$, a $k$-proper partition of a graph $G$ is a partition ${\mathcal P}$ of $V(G)$ such that each part $P$ of ${\mathcal P}$ induces a $k$-connected subgraph of $G$. We prove that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ such that…
