Abstract

An n-ladder is a balanced bipartite graph with vertex sets A = {a, . . . , an} and B = {b1 , . . . , bn} such that ai ∼ bj iff |i - j| ≤ 1. We use techniques developed recently by Komlós et al. (1997) to show that if G = (U, V, E) is a bipartite graph with |U| = n = |V|, with n sufficiently large, and the minimum degree of G is at least n/2 + 1, then G contains an n-ladder. This answers a question of Wang.
