Bipartite independence number
Consider a balanced bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$, i.e., a bipartite graph with $|U|=|V|$. An independent set $I$ of $G$ is balanced if $|I \cap U| = |I \cap V|$.
The bipartite independence number of ...

Details about Kelman's equivalent form of Barnette's conjecture
Barnette's conjecture states that every cubic planar bipartite 3-connected graph admits Hamiltonian cycles.
Kelman claims that this conjecture is equivalent to a stronger one, which imposes some ...

Counting matchings in a bipartite matching-covered graph
A graph is called matching-covered if every edge is containd in a perfect matching. (Such graphs are also sometimes called "elementary", e.g. in Chapter 4 of "Matching Theory" by Lovasz & ...

Searching for equal subsets in a bipartite graph
Let $(U,V)$ be a finite bipartite graph of two parts $U$ and $V$. For any subset $u\subset U$ define the image $Im(u)$ in $V$ consisting of all vertices of $V$ connected to at least one vertex of $u$.

Good lower bound on matching in bipartite graph
Suppose a bipartite graph $G=(V_1 \cup V_2, E)$ is given, and one is interested in matching vertices $V_1$ to vertices $V_2$. Assume Hall's condition does not hold, so a perfect matching does not ...

Bipartiteness criterion
A graph is bipartite if and only if it does not contain odd cycles. Is there a similar criterion for hypergraphs? (A hypergraph is called bipartite if its vertices can be colored in two colors so that ...

How many extreme maximal cliques are in an n*m 0-1 matrix?
We can use an n*m 0-1 matrix to denote a bipartite graph. Mining maximal bicliques in such matrix is an open problem.
The extreme maximal clique is a special maximal clique. A clique in such matrix ...

When does a `distinguished matching' exist?
Suppose I have a bipartite graph on a pair of vertex sets $X$ and $Y$.
Definition: A distinguished matching is a subset $DX\subseteq X$ and a subset $DY\subseteq Y$ such that:
For all $y\in Y$, ...

Finding maximal k-degenerate subgraphs
Given a graph $G$, let $H$ be a $k$-degenerate (not necessarily induced) subgraph of maximal size. Are there any known lower bounds on $|E(H)|$ for particular classes of $G$ and values of $k$?
I've ...

Condition on a bipartite graph to have an $m$-factor
This might be the most stupid question I am ever posting here: I am asking for a proof or a counterexample to a problem I proposed on MathLinks long ago.
Let $G$ be a bipartite graph, i. e., a graph ...
