Abstract

Bisimplicial edges in bipartite graphs are closely related to pivots in Gaussian elimination that avoid turning zeroes into non-zeroes. We present a new deterministic algorithm to find such edges in bipartite graphs. Our algorithm is very simple and easy to implement. Its running-time is $O(nm)$, where $n$ is the number of vertices and $m$ is the number of edges. Furthermore, for any fixed $p$ and random bipartite graphs in the $G_{n,n,p}$ model, the expected running-time of our algorithm is $O(n^2)$, which is linear in the input size.
