Abstract

We say that a bipartite graph G(A, B) with the fixed parts A and B is proximinal if there is a semimetric space (X, d) such that A and B are disjoint proximinal subsets of X and all edges {a, b} satisfy the equality d(a, b) = dist(A, B). It is proved that a bipartite graph G is not isomorphic to any proximinal graph if and only if G is finite and empty. It is also shown that the subgraph induced by all non-isolated vertices of a nonempty bipartite graph G is a disjoint union of complete bipartite graphs if and only if G is isomorphic to a nonempty proximinal graph for an ultrametric space.
