Two Problems On Bipartite Graphs, Albert Bush
Two Problems On Bipartite Graphs, Albert Bush
Mathematics Theses
Erdos proved the well-known result that every graph has a spanning, bipartite subgraph such that every vertex has degree at least half of its original degree. Bollobas and Scott conjectured that one can get a slightly weaker result if we require the subgraph to be not only spanning and bipartite, but also balanced. We prove this conjecture for graphs of maximum degree 3.
The majority of the paper however, will focus on graph tiling. Graph tiling (or sometimes referred to as graph packing) is where, given a graph H, we find a spanning subgraph of some larger graph G that …
