If there exists an integer $k$ such that, for $n$ sufficiently large, every 2-coloring of $K_n$ with more than $k$ edges in each color class contains a balanced copy of $G$, then we say that $G$ is balanceable. Balanceability was introduced by Caro, Hansberg and Montejano, who also gave a structural characterization of balanceable graphs. In this paper, we extend the study of balanceability by finding new sufficient conditions for a graph to be balanceable or not. We use those conditions to fully characterize the balanceability of graph classes such as circulant graphs, rectangular and triangular grids.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-10T15:32:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "graph classes", "balanceability", "balanced copy", "color class contains", "triangular grids" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
