Broadly speaking, amoebas are graphs that, by means of a chain of feasible edge-replacements, can be transformed into any other copy of itself on a given vertex set (depending on which they are defined as local or global amoebas). Global amoebas were born as examples of <i>balanceable</i> graphs, which appear with half of their edges in each color in any 2-edge coloring of a large enough complete graph with a sufficient amount of edges <i>k</i> in each color. The minimum value of <i>k</i> is called the <i>balancing number</i> of <i>G</i>. We provide a recursive construction to generate very diverse infinite families of local and global amoebas, which not only answers a question posed by Caro et al. but also yields an efficient algorithm that provides a chain of feasible edge-replacements that one can perform in order to move a local amoeba into an aimed copy in the same vertex set. All results are illustrated by three different families of local amoebas, including the Fibonacci-type trees. We express the balancing number of a global amoeba <i>G</i> in terms of the extremal number of a class of subgraphs of <i>G</i> and give a general lower bound. We provide linear lower and upper bounds for the balancing number of our three case studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55611,"journal":{"name":"Aequationes Mathematicae","volume":"99 3","pages":"1265 - 1299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
