Let $k>1$, and let $mathcal{F}$ be a family of $2n+k-3$ non-empty sets of edges in a bipartite graph. If the union of every $k$ members of $mathcal{F}$ contains a matching of size $n$, then there exists an $mathcal{F}$-rainbow matching of size $n$. Upon replacing $2n+k-3$ by $2n+k-2$, the result can be proved both topologically and by a relatively simple combinatorial argument. The main effort is in gaining the last $1$, which makes the result sharp.
Drisko proved that $2n-1$ matchings of size $n$ in a bipartite graph have a rainbow matching of size $n$. For general graphs it is conjectured that $2n$ matchings suffice for this purpose (and that $2n-1$ matchings suffice when $n$ is even). The know
Grinblat (2002) asks the following question in the context of algebras of sets: What is the smallest number $mathfrak v = mathfrak v(n)$ such that, if $A_1, ldots, A_n$ are $n$ equivalence relations on a common finite ground set $X$, such that for ea
Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, the {it rainbow number} $rb(G,H)$ for $H$ with respect to $G$ is defined as the minimum number $k$ such that any $k$-edge-coloring of $G$ contains a rainbow $H$, i.e., a copy of $H$, all of its edges have different color
Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, the {it rainbow number} $rb(G,H)$ for $H$ with respect to $G$ is defined as the minimum number $k$ such that any $k$-edge-coloring of $G$ contains a rainbow $H$, i.e., a copy of $H$, all of whose edges have different col
A graph $G$ whose edges are coloured (not necessarily properly) contains a full rainbow matching if there is a matching $M$ that contains exactly one edge of each colour. We refute several conjectures on matchings in hypergraphs and full rainbow matc
