We consider the problem of finding in a graph a set R of edges to be colored in red so that there are maximum matchings having some prescribed numbers of red edges. For regular bipartite graphs with n nodes on each side, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a set R with |R| = n + 1 such that perfect matchings with k red edges exist for all k, 0 ≤ k ≤ n. Given two integers p...

Starting from the basic problem of reconstructing a 2-dimensional im- age given by its projections on two axes, one associates a model of edge coloring in a complete bipartite graph. The complexity of the case with k = 3 colors is open. Variations and special cases are considered for the case k = 3 colors where the graph corresponding to the union of some color classes (for instance colors 1...

Given an undirected graph G=(V,E) with matching number \nu(G), a d-blocker is a subset of edges B such that \nu(/V,E\B))= d. While the associated decision problem is NP-complete in bipartite graphs we show how to construct efficiently minimum d-transversals and minimum d-blockers in the...

Let G = (V , E) be a graph in which every vertex v ∈ V has a weight w(v)>=0 and a cost c(v) >=0. Let SG be the family of all maximum-weight stable sets in G. For any integer d 0, a minimum d-transversal in the graph G with respect to SG is a subset of vertices T ⊆ V of minimum total cost such that |T ∩ S| d for every S ∈ SG. In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm to...
