Given bipartite graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, the bipartite Ramsey number $b(H_1; H_2)$ is the smallest integer $b$ such that any subgraph $G$ of the complete bipartite graph $K_{b,b}$, either $G$ contains a copy of $H_1$ or its complement relative to $K_{b,b}$ contains a copy of $H_2$. It is known that $b(K_{2,2};K_{2,2})=5, b(K_{2,3};K_{2,3})=9, b(K_{2,4};K_{2,4})=14$ and $b(K_{3,3};K_{3,3})=17$. In this paper we study the case $H_1$ being even cycles and $H_2$ being $K_{2,2}$, prove that $b(C_6;K_{2,2})=5$ and $b(C_{2m};K_{2,2})=m+1$ for $m\geq 4$.

The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted $R_\Delta(G;s)$, is $\min\{\Delta(H)\colon\, H\stackrel{s}{\to} G\}$, where $H\stackrel{s}{\to} G$ means that every $s$-edge-coloring of $H$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$.  The closed $k$-blowup of a graph is obtained by replacing every vertex with a clique of size $k$ and every edge with a complete bipartite graph where both partite sets have size $k$.  We prove that there is a function $f$ such that $R_\Delta(G;s) \le f(\Delta(G), s)$  when $G$ is a closed blowup of a tree.

The k$-colour bipartite Ramsey number of a bipartite graph $H$ is the least integer $N$ for which every $k$-edge-coloured complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The study of bipartite Ramsey numbers was initiated over 40 years ago by Faudree and Schelp and, independently, by Gyárfás and Lehel, who determined the $2$-colour bipartite Ramsey number of paths. Recently the $3$-colour Ramsey number of paths and (even) cycles, was essentially determined as well. Improving the results of DeBiasio, Gyárfás, Krueger, Ruszinkó, and Sárközy, in this paper we determine asymptotically the $4$-colour bipartite Ramsey number of paths and cycles. We also provide new upper bounds on the $k$-colour bipartite Ramsey numbers of paths and cycles which are close to being tight.

A perfect matchingMin an edge-coloured complete bipartite graphKn,nis rainbow if no pair of edges inMhave the same colour. We obtain asymptotic enumeration results for the number of rainbow perfect matchings in terms of the maximum number of occurrences of each colour. We also consider two natural models of random edge-colourings ofKn,nand show that if the number of colours is at leastn, then there is with high probability a rainbow perfect matching. This in particular shows that almost every square matrix of ordernin which every entry appearsntimes has a Latin transversal.

The thickness of a graph G is the smallest natural number t such that G is the union of t planar subgraphs. A graph G is t-minimal if its thickness is t and if every proper subgraph of G has thickness < t. (These terms were introduced by Tutte in [3]. In [1, p. 51] Beineke employs the term t-critical instead of t-minimal.) The complete bipartite graph K(m, n) consists of m 'dark1 points, n 'light' points, and the mn lines joining points of different types.

Let $G$ be a connected graph, and let $f$ be a function mapping $V(G)$ into ${\Bbb N}$. We define $f(H)=\sum_{v\in{V(H)}}f(v)$ for each subgraph $H$ of $G$. The function $f$ is called an IC-coloring of $G$ if for each integer $k$ in the set $\{1,2,\cdots,f(G)\}$ there exists an (induced) connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $f(H)=k$, and the IC-index of $G$, $M(G)$, is the maximum value of $f(G)$ where $f$ is an IC-coloring of $G$. In this paper, we show that $M(K_{m,n})=3\cdot2^{m+n-2}-2^{m-2}+2$ for each complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n},\,2\leq m\leq n$.

The study of graph labeling has focused on finding classes of graphs which admits a particular type of labeling. In this paper we consider a particular class of graphs which demonstrates Edge Magic Total Labeling. The class we considered here is a complete bipartite graph Km,n. There are various graph labeling techniques that generalize the idea of a magic square has been proposed earlier. The definition of a magic labeling on a graph with v vertices and e edges is a one to one map taking the vertices and edges onto the integers 1,2,3,………, v+e with the property that the sum of the label on an edge and the labels of its endpoints is constant independent of the choice of edge. We use m x n matrix to construct edge magic total labeling of Km,n.
