Let G be a triangle-free, loopless graph with maximum degree three. We display a polynomi$ algorithm which returns a bipartite subgraph of G containing at least 5 of the edges of G. Furthermore, we characterize the dodecahedron and the Petersen graph as the only 3-regular, triangle-free, loopless, c

Let T = (V, E) be a tree with a properly 2-colored vertex set. A bipartite labeling of T is a bijection ϕ: V → {1, . . . , |V |} for which there exists a k such that whenever ϕ(u) ≤ k < ϕ(v), then u and v have different colors. The α-size α(T ) of the tree T is the maximum number of elements in the
Graphs with n + k vertices in which every set of n +j vertices induce a subgraph of maximum degree at least n are considered. For j = 1 and for k fairly small compared to n, we determine the minimum number of edges in such graphs.
d 2,n 2 ) is a bipartite graphical sequence, if there is a bipartite graph G with degrees {D 1 , D 2 } (i.e., G has two independent vertex sets In other words, {D 1 , D 2 } is a bipartite graphical sequence if and only if there is an n 1 1 n 2 matrix of 0's and 1's having d 1j 1 1's in row j 1 and
We show that the problem of deciding whether a connected bipartite graph of degree at most 4 has a cubic subgraph is NP-complete.
