Abstract In this paper we construct a class of bounded degree bipartite graphs with a small separator and large bandwidth, thereby showing that separability and bandwidth are not linearly equivalent. Furthermore, we also prove that graphs from this class are spanning subgraphs of graphs with minimum degree just slightly above n / 2,  even though their bandwidth is large.

Monochromatic Copy

Let k be a positive integer, k ≥ 2. In this paper we study bipartite graphs G such that, for n sufficiently large, each two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph Kn gives a monochromatic copy of G, with some k of its vertices having the maximum degree of these k vertices minus the minimum degree of these k vertices (in the colored Kn) at most k − 2.

Bipartite Case

Böttcher, Schacht and Taraz (Math. Ann., 2009) gave a condition on the minimum degree of a graph G on n vertices that ensures G contains every r-chromatic graph H on n vertices of bounded degree and of bandwidth o(n), thereby proving a conjecture of Bollobás and Komlós (Combin. Probab. Comput., 1999). We strengthen this result in the case when H is bipartite. Indeed, we give an essentially best-possible condition on the degree sequence of a graph G on n vertices that forces G to contain every bipartite graph H on n vertices of bounded degree and of bandwidth o(n). This also implies an Ore-type result. In fact, we prove a much stronger result where the condition on G is relaxed to a certain robust expansion property. Our result also confirms the bipartite case of a conjecture of Balogh, Kostochka and Treglown concerning the degree sequence of a graph which forces a perfect H-packing.

Delta G

Let $G$ be a simple balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices, $\delta = \delta(G)/n$, and $\rho_0={\delta + \sqrt{2 \delta -1} \over 2}$. If $\delta \ge 1/2$ then $G$ has a $\lfloor \rho_0 n \rfloor$-regular spanning subgraph. The statement is nearly tight.

Two Parameters

A dominating set in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $S$ such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. While the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in $G$ is called the domination number of $G$ denoted by $\gamma(G)$, the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in $G$ is called the upper domination number of $G$ denoted by $\Gamma(G)$. We call the difference between these two parameters the \textit{domination gap} of $G$ and denote it by $\mu_d(G) = \Gamma(G) - \gamma(G)$. While a graph $G$ with $\mu_d(G)=0$ is said to be a \textit{well-dominated} graph, we call a graph $G$ with $\mu_d(G)=1$ an \textit{almost well-dominated} graph. In this work, we first establish an upper bound for the cardinality of bipartite graphs with $\mu_d(G)=k$, where $k\geq1$, and minimum degree at least two. We then provide a complete structural characterization of almost well-dominated bipartite graphs with minimum degree at least two. While the results by Finbow et al.~\cite{domination} imply that a 4-cycle is the only well-dominated bipartite graph with minimum degree at least two, we prove in this paper that there exist precisely 31 almost well-dominated bipartite graphs with minimum degree at least two.

The Way

We define a $d$-balanced equi-$n$-square $L=(l_{ij})$, for some divisor $d$ of $n$, as an $n \times n$ matrix containing symbols from $\mathbb{Z}_n$ in which any symbol that occurs in a row or column, occurs exactly $d$ times in that row or column. We show how to construct a $d$-balanced equi-$n$-square from a partition of a Latin square of order $n$ into $d \times (n/d)$ subrectangles. In graph theory, $L$ is equivalent to a decomposition of $K_{n,n}$ into $d$-regular spanning subgraphs of $K_{n/d,n/d}$. We also study when $L$ is diagonally cyclic, defined as when $l_{(i+1)(j+1)}=l_{ij}+1$ for all $i,j \in \mathbb{Z}_n$, which correspond to cyclic such decompositions of $K_{n,n}$ (and thus $\alpha$-labellings). We identify necessary conditions for the existence of (a) $d$-balanced equi-$n$-squares, (b) diagonally cyclic $d$-balanced equi-$n$-squares, and (c) Latin squares of order $n$ which partition into $d \times (n/d)$ subrectangles. We prove the necessary conditions are sufficient for arbitrary fixed $d \geq 1$ when $n$ is sufficiently large, and we resolve the existence problem completely when $d \in \{1,2,3\}$. Along the way, we identify a bijection between $\alpha$-labellings of $d$-regular bipartite graphs and what we call $d$-starters: matrices with exactly one filled cell in each top-left-to-bottom-right unbroken diagonal, and either $d$ or $0$ filled cells in each row and column. We use $d$-starters to construct diagonally cyclic $d$-balanced equi-$n$-squares, but this also gives new constructions of $\alpha$-labellings.

International audience For a connected graph G of order |V(G)| ≥3 and a k-labelling c : E(G) →{1,2,…,k} of the edges of G, the code of a vertex v of G is the ordered k-tuple (ℓ1,ℓ2,…,ℓk), where ℓi is the number of edges incident with v that are labelled i. The k-labelling c is detectable if every two adjacent vertices of G have distinct codes. The minimum positive integer k for which G has a detectable k-labelling is the detection number det(G) of G. In this paper, we show that it is NP-complete to decide if the detection number of a cubic graph is 2. We also show that the detection number of every bipartite graph of minimum degree at least 3 is at most 2. Finally, we give some sufficient condition for a cubic graph to have detection number 3.
