Badges and rainbow matchings

چکیده
Drisko proved that 2n−1 matchings of size n in a bipartite graph have rainbow matching n. For general graphs it is conjectured 2n suffice for this purpose (and when even). The known showing sharpness conjecture even are called badges. We improve the previously best bound from 3n−2 to 3n−3, using new line proof involves analysis appearance also prove “cooperative” generalization: t>0 and n≥3, any 3n−4+t sets edges, union every t which contains n,

Rainbow Matchings and Rainbow Connectedness
Aharoni and Berger conjectured that every collection of n matchings of size n+1 in a bipartite graph contains a rainbow matching of size n. This conjecture is related to several old conjectures of Ryser, Brualdi, and Stein about transversals in Latin squares. There have been many recent partial results about the Aharoni-Berger Conjecture. The conjecture is known to hold when the matchings are m...
متن کاملRainbow matchings and transversals
We show that there exists a bipartite graph containing n matchings of sizes mi n satisfying ∑ i mi = n 2 + n/2 − 1, such that the matchings have no rainbow matching. This answers a question posed by Aharoni, Charbit and Howard. We also exhibit (n − 1) × n latin rectangles that cannot be decomposed into transversals, and some related constructions. In the process we answer a question posed by Hä...
متن کاملRainbow Matchings: existence and counting
A perfect matching M in an edge–colored complete bipartite graph Kn,n is rainbow if no pair of edges in M have the same color. We obtain asymptotic enumeration results for the number of rainbow matchings in terms of the maximum number of occurrences of a color. We also consider two natural models of random edge–colored Kn,n and show that, if the number of colors is at least n, then there is whp...
متن کاملExistences of rainbow matchings and rainbow matching covers
Let G be an edge-coloured graph. A rainbow subgraph in G is a subgraph such that its edges have distinct colours. The minimum colour degree δc(G) of G is the smallest number of distinct colours on the edges incidentwith a vertex ofG.We show that every edge-coloured graph G on n ≥ 7k/2 + 2 vertices with δc(G) ≥ k contains a rainbow matching of size at least k, which improves the previous result ...
متن کاملRainbow matchings in bipartite multigraphs
Suppose that k is a non-negative integer and a bipartite multigraph G is the union of N = ⌊ k + 2 k + 1 n ⌋ − (k + 1) matchings M1, . . . ,MN , each of size n. We show that G has a rainbow matching of size n− k, i.e. a matching of size n− k with all edges coming from different Mi’s. Several choices of parameters relate to known results and conjectures. Suppose that a multigraph G is given with ...
