Abstract

We consider a bipartite version of the color degree matrix problem. A bipartite graph G(U,V,E) is half-regular if all vertices in U have the same degree. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a bipartite degree matrix (also known as demand matrix) to be the color degree matrix of an edge-disjoint union of half-regular graphs. We also give necessary and sufficient perturbations to transform realizations of a half-regular degree matrix into each other. Based on these perturbations, a Markov chain Monte Carlo method is designed in which the inverse of the acceptance ratios is polynomial bounded. Realizations of a half-regular degree matrix are generalizations of Latin squares, and they also appear in applied neuroscience. © 2017
