Analysis of Algorithms International audience Let fm,n,h be the number of spanning forests with h edges in the complete bipartite graph Km,n. Kirchhoff\textquoterights Matrix Tree Theorem implies fm,n,m+n-1=mn-1 nm-1 when m ≥1 and n ≥1, since fm,n,m+n-1 is the number of spanning trees in Km,n. In this paper, we give an algorithm for computing fm,n,h for general m,n,h. We implement this algorithm and use it to compute all non-zero fm,n,h when m ≤50 and n ≤50 in under 2 days.

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.

Spanning trees have been found to be structures of paramount importance in both theoretical and practical problems. In this paper we derive new formulas for the complexity, number of spanning trees, of some products of complete and complete bipartite graphs such as Cartesian product, normal product, composition product, tensor product, symmetric product, and strong sum, using linear algebra and matrix theory techniques.

The ultimate objective of a piece of research work is to present the labelling of vertices in 3-PFG and labelling of distances in 3-PFG. Also, we characterize some of its properties. Later, we define the vertex and edge chromatic number BF- Complete Bipartite graph. Further we illustrated an example for BFRGS which represents a Route Network system.

Combinatorics International audience We study two graph parameters, namely the number of spanning forests and the number of connected subgraphs, for self-similar graphs with exactly two boundary vertices. In both cases, we determine the general behavior for these and related auxiliary quantities by means of polynomial recurrences and a careful asymptotic analysis. It turns out that the so-called resistance scaling factor of a graph plays an essential role in both instances, a phenomenon that was previously observed for the number of spanning trees. Several explicit examples show that our findings are likely to hold in an even more general setting.

Given a one-factorization $\mathcal{F}$ of the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$, let ${\sf pf}(\mathcal{F})$ denote the number of Hamiltonian cycles obtained by taking pairwise unions of perfect matchings in $\mathcal{F}$. Let ${\sf pf}(n)$ be the maximum of ${\sf pf}(\mathcal{F})$ over all one-factorizations $\mathcal{F}$ of $K_{n,n}$. In this work we prove that ${\sf pf}(n)\geq n^2/4$, for all $n\geq 2$.
