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.

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.

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.

Let ℱ be a family of graphs and letdbe large enough. For everyd-regular graphG, we study the existence of a spanning ℱ-free subgraph ofGwith large minimum degree. This problem is well understood if ℱ does not contain bipartite graphs. Here we provide asymptotically tight results for many families of bipartite graphs such as cycles or complete bipartite graphs. To prove these results, we study a locally injective analogue of the question.

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.

A balanced bipartite graph G is said to be 2p-Hamilton-biconnected if for any balanced subset W of size 2p of V(G), the subgraph induced by V(G)nW is Hamilton-biconnected. In this paper, we prove that ?Let G be a balanced bipartite graph of order 2n with minimum degree ?(G) ? k, where n ? 2k-p+2 for two integers k ? p ? 0. If the number of edges e(G) > n(n-k + p-1) + (k + 2)(k-p+1), then G is 2p-Hamilton-biconnected except some exceptions.? Furthermore, this result is used to present two new spectral conditions for a graph to be 2p-Hamilton-biconnected. Moreover, the similar results are also presented for nearly balanced bipartite graphs.

Gyárfas proved that every coloring of the edges of $K_n$ with $t+1$ colors contains a monochromatic connected component of size at least $n/t$. Later, Gyárfás and Sárközy asked for which values of $\gamma=\gamma(t)$ does the following strengthening for almost complete graphs hold: if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1-\gamma)n$, then every $(t+1)$-edge coloring of $G$ contains a monochromatic component of size at least $n/t$. We show $\gamma= 1/(6t^3)$ suffices, improving a result of DeBiasio, Krueger, and Sárközy.

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.
