Extremal properties of the bipartite vertex frustration of graphs. (English) Zbl 1234.05134

Summary: The smallest number of vertices that have to be deleted from a graph \(G\) to obtain a bipartite subgraph is called the bipartite vertex frustration of \(G\) and denoted by \(\psi (G)\). In this paper, some extremal properties of this graph invariant are presented. Moreover, we present an exact formula for the bipartite vertex frustration of the corona product of graphs.
