Let G=(V 1 , V 2 ; E ) be a bipartite graph with |V 1 |= |V 2 | =n 2k, where k is a positive integer. Suppose that the minimum degree of G is at least k+1. We show that if n>2k, then G contains k vertex-disjoint cycles. We also show that if n=2k, then G contains k&1 quadrilaterals and a path of orde

It was conjectured in [Wang, to appear in The Australasian Journal of Combinatorics] that, for each integer k โฅ 2, there exists . This conjecture is also verified for k = 2, 3 in [Wang, to appear; Wang, manuscript]. In this article, we prove this conjecture to be true if n โฅ 3k, i.e., M (k) โค 3k. W
