On the bipartite case of El-Zahárs conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
A special case of a conjecture of M. El-Zahár states that a graph G with 2k vertices and minimum degree k, contains every bipartite 2-regular graph H on 2k vertices as a spanning subgraph. In this paper it will be proved that G contains the union of (k− 1) cycles of lengths 4 and a path of order 4. Using this result it will also be proved that G contains the union of (k−2) cycles of lengths 4 and a cycle of length 8.

Covering a bipartite graph with cycles passing through given edges
We propose a conjecture: for each integer k 2:: 2, there exists N (k) such that if G = (Vb \12; E) is a bipartite graph with IV11 = 1\121 = n 2: N(k) and d( x) + d(y) 2: n + k for each pair of non-adjacent vertices x and y of G with x E V1 and y E \12, then for any k independent edges el, ... , ek of G, there exist k vertex-disjoint cycles G1, ... , Gk in G such that ei E E(Gi ) for all i E {I,...
متن کاملThe p-median and p-center Problems on Bipartite Graphs
Let $G$ be a bipartite graph. In this paper we consider the two kind of location problems namely $p$-center and $p$-median problems on bipartite graphs. The $p$-center and $p$-median problems asks to find a subset of vertices of cardinality $p$, so that respectively the maximum and sum of the distances from this set to all other vertices in $G$ is minimized. For each case we present some proper...
متن کاملKs, t-saturated bipartite graphs
An n-by-n bipartite graph is H-saturated if the addition of any missing edge between its two parts creates a new copy of H. In 1964, Erdős, Hajnal and Moon made a conjecture on the minimum number of edges in a Ks,s-saturated bipartite graph. This conjecture was proved independently by Wessel and Bollobás in a more general, but ordered, setting: they showed that the minimum number of edges in a ...
متن کاملThe Laplacian energy of random graphs ∗
Gutman et al. introduced the concepts of energy E (G) and Laplacian energy EL(G) for a simple graph G, and furthermore, they proposed a conjecture that for every graph G, E (G) is not more than EL(G). Unfortunately, the conjecture turns out to be incorrect since Liu et al. and Stevanović et al. constructed counterexamples. However, So et al. verified the conjecture for bipartite graphs. In the ...
متن کاملOn the Closed-Form Solution of a Nonlinear Difference Equation and Another Proof to Sroysang’s Conjecture
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we derive theoretically, using appropriate transformation on x(n), the closed-form solution of the nonlinear difference equation x(n+1) = 1/(±1 + x(n)), n ∈ N_0. The form of solution of this equation, however, was first obtained in [10] but through induction principle. Then, with the solution of the above equation at hand, we prove a case ...
