A $k$-matching $M$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $Msubseteq E$ such that each connected component in the subgraph $F = (V,M)$ of $G$ is either a single-vertex graph or $k$-regular, i.e., each vertex has degree $k$. In this contribution, we are interested in $k$-matchings within the four standard graph products: the Cartesian, strong, direct and lexicographic product. As we shall see, the problem of finding non-empty $k$-matchings ($kgeq 3$) in graph products is NP-complete. Due to the general intractability of this problem, we focus on distinct polynomial-time constructions of $k$-matchings in a graph product $Gstar H$ that are based on $k_G$-matchings $M_G$ and $k_H$-matchings $M_H$ of its factors $G$ and $H$, respectively. In particular, we are interested in properties of the factors that have to be satisfied such that these constructions yield a maximum $k$-matching in the respective products. Such constructions are also called well-behaved and we provide several characterizations for this type of $k$-matchings. Our specific constructions of $k$-matchings in graph products satisfy the property of being weak-homomorphism preserving, i.e., constructed matched edges in the product are never projected to unmatched edges in the factors. This leads to the concept of weak-homomorphism preserving $k$-matchings. Although the specific $k$-matchings constructed here are not always maximum $k$-matchings of the products, they have always maximum size among all weak-homomorphism preserving $k$-matchings. Not all weak-homomorphism preserving $k$-matchings, however, can be constructed in our manner. We will, therefore, determine the size of maximum-sized elements among all weak-homomorphims preserving $k$-matching within the respective graph products, provided that the matchings in the factors satisfy some general assumptions.

In this paper we study $k$-noncrossing matchings. A $k$-noncrossing matching is a labeled graph with vertex set ${1,...,2n}$ arranged in increasing order in a horizontal line and vertex-degree 1. The $n$ arcs are drawn in the upper halfplane subject
to the condition that there exist no $k$ arcs that mutually intersect. We derive: (a) for arbitrary $k$, an asymptotic approximation of the exponential generating function of $k$-noncrossing matchings $F_k(z)$. (b) the asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-noncrossing matchings $f_{k}(n) sim c_k n^{-((k-1)^2+(k-1)/2)} (2(k-1))^{2n}$ for some $c_k>0$.
In 2009, Bang-Jensen asked whether there exists a function $g(k)$ such that every strongly $k$-connected $n$-vertex tournament contains a strongly $k$-connected spanning subgraph with at most $kn + g(k)$ arcs. In this paper, we answer the question by
showing that every strongly $k$-connected $n$-vertex tournament contains a strongly $k$-connected spanning subgraph with at most $kn + 750k^2log(k+1)$ arcs.
Computing cohesive subgraphs is a central problem in graph theory. While many formulations of cohesive subgraphs lead to NP-hard problems, finding a densest subgraph can be done in polynomial time. As such, the densest subgraph model has emerged as t
he most popular notion of cohesiveness. Recently, the data mining community has started looking into the problem of computing k densest subgraphs in a given graph, rather than one, with various restrictions on the possible overlap between the subgraphs. However, there seems to be very little known on this important and natural generalization from a theoretical perspective. In this paper we hope to remedy this situation by analyzing three natural variants of the k densest subgraphs problem. Each variant differs depending on the amount of overlap that is allowed between the subgraphs. In one extreme, when no overlap is allowed, we prove that the problem is NP-hard for k >= 3. On the other extreme, when overlap is allowed without any restrictions and the solution subgraphs only have to be distinct, we show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to k, and admits a PTAS for constant k. Finally, when a limited of overlap is allowed between the subgraphs, we prove that the problem is NP-hard for k = 2.
Let $n, k, m$ be positive integers with $ngg mgg k$, and let $mathcal{A}$ be the set of graphs $G$ of order at least 3 such that there is a $k$-connected monochromatic subgraph of order at least $n-f(G,k,m)$ in any rainbow $G$-free coloring of $K_n$
using all the $m$ colors. In this paper, we prove that the set $mathcal{A}$ consists of precisely $P_6$, $P_3cup P_4$, $K_2cup P_5$, $K_2cup 2P_3$, $2K_2cup K_3$, $2K_2cup P^{+}_4$, $3K_2cup K_{1,3}$ and their subgraphs of order at least 3. Moreover, we show that for any graph $Hin mathcal{A}$, if $n$ sufficiently larger than $m$ and $k$, then any rainbow $(P_3cup H)$-free coloring of $K_n$ using all the $m$ colors contains a $k$-connected monochromatic subgraph of order at least $cn$, where $c=c(H)$ is a constant, not depending on $n$, $m$ or $k$. Furthermore, we consider a parallel problem in complete bipartite graphs. Let $s, t, k, m$ be positive integers with ${rm min}left{s, tright}gg mgg k$ and $mgeq |E(H)|$, and let $mathcal{B}$ be the set of bipartite graphs $H$ of order at least 3 such that there is a $k$-connected monochromatic subgraph of order at least $s+t-f(H,k,m)$ in any rainbow $H$-free coloring of $K_{s,t}$ using all the $m$ colors, where $f(H,k,m)$ is not depending on $s$ or $t$. We prove that the set $mathcal{B}$ consists of precisely $2P_3$, $2K_2cup K_{1,3}$ and their subgraphs of order at least 3. Finally, we consider the large $k$-connected multicolored subgraph instead of monochromatic subgraph. We show that for $1leq k leq 3$ and $n$ sufficiently large, every Gallai-3-coloring of $K_n$ contains a $k$-connected subgraph of order at least $n-leftlfloorfrac{k-1}{2}rightrfloor$ using at most two colors. We also show that the above statement is false for $k=4t$, where $t$ is an positive integer.
Let $K_{n}^{r}$ denote the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices. A matching $M$ in a hypergraph is a set of pairwise vertex disjoint edges. Recent Ramsey-type results rely on lemmas about the size of monochromatic matchings. A starting poi
nt for this study comes from a well-known result of Alon, Frankl, and Lovasz (1986). Our motivation is to find the smallest $n$ such that every $t$-coloring of $K_{n}^{r}$ contains an $s$-colored matching of size $k$. It has been conjectured that in every coloring of the edges of $K_n^r$ with 3 colors there is a 2-colored matching of size at least $k$ provided that $n geq kr + lfloor frac{k-1}{r+1} rfloor$. The smallest test case is when $r=3$ and $k=4$. We prove that in every 3-coloring of the edges of $K_{12}^3$ there is a 2-colored matching of size 4.
