Title
Graphs without short odd cycles are nearly bipartite
Abstract
It is proved that for every constant ϵ > 0 and every graph G on n vertices which contains no odd cycles of length smaller than ϵn , G can be made bipartite by removing (15/ϵ)ln(10/ϵ)) vertices. This result is best possible except for a constant factor. Moreover, it is shown that one candestroy all odd cycles in such a graph G also by omitting not more than (200/ ϵ 2 )(ln(10/ ϵ )) 2 edges.
