Graph to Bipartite conversion preserving number of perfect matchings
Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is there a technique to convert to a balanced bipartite graph $B$ with $O(n^c)$ vertices at some fixed $0<c$ in $O(n^{c'})$ time at some fixed $0<c'$ such that ...

Missing count in number of perfect matchings
Let $f(G)$ give number of perfect matchings of a graph $G$.
Denote $\mathcal N_{2n}=\{0,1,2,\dots,n!-1,n!\}$.
Denote collection of all $2n$ vertex balanced bipartite graph to be $\mathcal G_{2n}$.

Combinatorial optimization problem for bipartite graphs
Let $G(V_1\cup V_2, E)$ be a simple bipartite graph having $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, such that $|V_1|=|V_2|$ (which implies that $n$ is an even number). Given any node $i \in V_1\cup V_2$, we denote ...

Dowker and neighborhood complexes: reference wanted
Let $R$ be a 0-1 matrix whose rows or columns are maximal.
Q1. Is there a name for such a matrix (or, e.g., a corresponding relation)?
From 0-1 matrix corresponding to an abstract simplicial ...

How many perfect matchings in a regular bipartite graph?
We have a $d$-regular bipartite graph $G = (X,Y,E)$ with $|X| = |Y| = n$ and $|E| = nd$.
What is an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings of $G$?

Minimal size of the maximal biclique
We examine a bipartite graph with two sides $R$ and $L$, and denote by $|L|$ and $|R|$ the number of nodes in each side. We know only that each node on side $R$ is connected to $k$ nodes on side $L$, ...

Discrepancy of random bipartite graphs
This is a crosspost from MathStackExchange (original question).
Fix $k>0$ and let $X, Y$ be two vertex sets of size $n$ a positive integer (we're interested in the limit $n\to \infty$).
Define a ...

Maximum number of edges in bipartite graph without cycles of length 4
Let $ex(n,H)$ denote the maximum number of edges of a graph on $n$ vertices not containing a copy of $H$. Let $ex(n,m,H)$ denote the maximum number of edges of a bipartite graph with parts' sizes $m$ ...

Bipartite Defect in Graphs
This question is inspired by a recent related question.
Given a bipartition $V=B \cup C$ of the vertices of a graph, call an edge $B$-monochromatic (or $C$-monochromatic) if both ends are in $B$ (or ...

Discrepancy of random bipartite graphs (2)
This question is a modification of the one asked here, which turned out to ask for something too strong to be true.
Given $k>0$ and a positive integer $n$, let $X, Y$ be two vertex sets of size $n$ ...

Marriages in infinite bipartite graphs with many neighbors
Let $A,B\neq \emptyset$ be disjoint and suppose $G = (A\cup B, E)$ is bipartite where for all $e\in E$ we have $e\cap A \neq \emptyset\neq e\cap B$. For $a\in A$ we set $N_G(a) = \{b\in B: (\exists e\...
