Title
Bipartite regulation numbers
Abstract
The bipartite regulation number br( G ) of a bipartite graph G with maximum degree d is the minimum number of vertices required to add to G to construct a d -regular bipartite supergraph of G . It is shown that if G is a connected m -by- n bipartite graph with m ⩽ n and n − m ⩾ d − 1, then br( G ) = n − m . If. however, n − m ⩽ d − 2, the br( G ) = n ⇔ m + 2 l for some l satisfying 0 ⩽ l ⩽ d − ( n − m ). Conversely, if l , k and d (>2) are integers such that 0 ⩽ l ⩽ k and 2 ⩽ k ⩽ d , then there is an connected m -by- n bipartite graph G of maximum degree d for which br( G ) = n − m + 2 l , for some m and n with k = d − ( n − m ).
