For any undirected simple graph $G=(V,E)$ we define for $v\in V$ the set $N(v) = \{w\in V: \{v,w\}\in E\}$. Suppose $A, B$ are finite, disjoint sets, and $G = (A\cup B, E)$ is a bipartite graph with …

If $G=(V,E)$ is a finite graph, let the Hadwiger number $\eta(G)$ equal the largest integer $n$ such that the complete graph $K_n$ is a minor of $G$. Is there a bipartite graph $G$ on more than $3$ v …

The starting point of this question is the following true statement for graphs: A simple, undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ is bipartite if and only if for all $E_0\subseteq E$ the graph $(V, E_0)$ is bipa …

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\ …

Suppose we have two finite disjoint sets $A, B \neq \emptyset$ such that $|A|$ and $|B|$ differ by at most $1$, and let $\Gamma = (A\cup B, E)$ where $E\subseteq \big\{\{a,b\}: a\in A, b\in B\big\}$ b …

Given an integer $k>1$, is there a connected bipartite graph $\Gamma = (A, B, E)$ where $A\cap B = \emptyset$ and $E \subseteq \big\{\{a, b\}:a\in A, b\in B\big\}$ such that $|A| = |B|$, $\text{de …

Let $[\omega]^\omega$ the collection of infinite subsets of $\omega$. We say that $E\subseteq [\omega]^\omega$ is bipartite if there is $d\subseteq \omega$ such that for all $e\in E$ the intersections …

Let $X, Y$ be non-empty, disjoint sets and let $R\subseteq X\times Y$ be a binary relation. For $x\in X$, we set $R(x) = \{y\in Y: (x,y) \in R\}$ and for $y\in Y$, let $R^{-1}(y) = \{x\in X:(x,y)\in R …

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\ …

For any topological space $(X,\tau)$ we define a matching to be a collection of non-empty and pairwise disjoint open sets. We define the matching number $\nu(X,\tau)$ to be the smallest cardinal $\kap …

Motivation. The three-dimensional cube can be formalized by $\mathcal P(\{0,1,2\})$ where vertices $x,y\in\mathcal P(\{0,1,2\})$ are connected by an edge if and only if their symmetric difference $x\m …

Motivation. My friend works in an organization that is re-organizing itself in the following somewhat laborious way: There are $n$ people currently sitting on $n$ jobs in total (everyone has one job). …
