Abstract

In this work we investigate the relationship between complete bipartite graph theory and the convolution factorization method, with an emphasis on the applications of convolution-based methods to graph factorization, coloring, and edge distribution problems. Although convolution factorization is primarily utilized in mathematical analysis and signal processing, its concepts can also be applied to graph theory, especially when breaking down and examining entire bipartite graphs. This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model that illustrates how graph-theoretical ideas can be handled using convolution techniques, with particular emphasis on applications such as network flow analysis, r-factorizations, and perfect matchings.
