Let [n]r be the complete r-partite hypergraph with vertex classes of size n. It is an easy exercise to show that every set of more than (k−1)nr−1 edges in [n]r contains a matching of size k. We conjecture the following rainbow version of this observation: if F1,F2,. . .,Fk ⊆ [n]r are of size larger than (k−1)nr−1 then there exists a rainbow matching, that is, a choice of disjoint edges fi ∈ Fi. We prove this conjecture for r=2 and r=3.

Abstract Let G be a simple graph that is properly edge-coloured with m colours and let \[\mathcal{M} = \{ {M_1},...,{M_m}\} \] be the set of m matchings induced by the colours in G. Suppose that \[m \leqslant n - {n^c}\] , where \[c > 9/10\] , and every matching in \[\mathcal{M}\] has size n. Then G contains a full rainbow matching, i.e. a matching that contains exactly one edge from M i for each \[1 \leqslant i \leqslant m\] . This answers an open problem of Pokrovskiy and gives an affirmative answer to a generalization of a special case of a conjecture of Aharoni and Berger. Related results are also found for multigraphs with edges of bounded multiplicity, and for hypergraphs. Finally, we provide counterexamples to several conjectures on full rainbow matchings made by Aharoni and Berger.

The existence of a rainbow matching given a minimum color degree, proper coloring, or triangle-free host graph has been studied extensively. This paper generalizes these problems to edge colored graphs with given total color degree. In particular, we find that if a graph $G$ has total color degree $2mn$ and satisfies some other properties, then $G$ contains a matching of size $m$. These other properties include $G$ being triangle-free, $C_4$-free, properly colored, or large enough.

A conjecture by Aharoni and Berger states that every family of $n$ matchings of size $n+1$ in a bipartite multigraph contains a rainbow matching of size $n$. In this paper we prove that matching sizes of $\left(\frac 3 2 + o(1)\right) n$ suffice to guarantee such a rainbow matching, which is asymptotically the same bound as the best known one in case we only aim to find a rainbow matching of size $n-1$. This improves previous results by Aharoni, Charbit and Howard, and Kotlar and Ziv.

Let $[n]$ denote the set $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ and $\mathcal{F}^{(r)}_{n,k,a}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on the vertex set $[n]$ with edge set consisting of all the $r$-element subsets of $[n]$ that contains at least $a$ vertices in $[ak+a-1]$. For $n\geq 2rk$, Frankl proved that $\mathcal{F}^{(r)}_{n,k,1}$ maximizes the number of edges in $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices with the matching number at most $k$. Huang, Loh and Sudakov considered a multicolored version of the Erd\H{o}s matching conjecture, and provided a sufficient condition on the number of edges for a multicolored hypergraph to contain a rainbow matching of size $k$. In this paper, we show that $\mathcal{F}^{(r)}_{n,k,a}$ maximizes the number of $s$-cliques in $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices with the matching number at most $k$ for sufficiently large $n$, where $a=\lfloor \frac{s-r}{k} \rfloor+1$. We also obtain a condition on the number of $s$-clques for a multicolored $r$-uniform hypergraph to contain a rainbow matching of size $k$, which reduces to the condition of Huang, Loh and Sudakov when $s=r$.

The lower bounds for the size of maximum rainbow matching in properly edge-colored graphs have been studied deeply during the last decades. An edge-coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is called a strong edge-coloring if each path of length at most three is rainbow. Clearly, the strong edge-coloring is a natural generalization of the proper one. Recently, Babu et al. considered the problem in the strongly edge-colored graphs. In this paper, we introduce a semi-strong edge-coloring of graphs and consider the existence of large rainbow matchings in it.
