Let G be a bipartite graph with bipartition (A, B) where |A| = |B| = 2k for some positive integer k. Suppose that |N(X)| ≥ |X| for all X ⊆ A with |X| ≤ k, and |N(Y)| ≥ |Y| for all Y ⊆ B with |Y | ≤ k. Prove that G has a perfect matching.

Step 1
Step 1: Since G is a bipartite graph with bipartition (A, B) where |A| = |B| = 2k, we know that G has 2k vertices in each part. Show more…

8.4 A connected bipartite graph G has partite sets U and W with |U| = k > 2. Prove that if every vertex in U has a distinct degree in G, then G contains a perfect matching.

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a simple bipartite graph with bipartition V (G) = V1 ∪ V2. Let n = |V (G)|, r = |V1|, s = |V2| and m = |E(G)|. Show that (a) m ≤ rs (b) Deduce that m ≤ n2/4 and describe the graphs where this holds at equality.

Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph and let A ⊆ V and B ⊆ V. Show that N(A ∪ B) = N(A) ∪ N(B). Also, N(A ∩ B) ⊆ N(A) ∩ N(B), and provide an example where N(A ∩ B) ≠ N(A) ∩ N(B).
