This paper gives a decomposition theory for bipartite graphs. It uses bimodules, a special case of 2-modules (also known as homogeneous pairs, an extension of both modules and splits). It is shown how a unique decomposition tree represents the bimodular decomposition of a bipartite graph, with strong analogs with modular decomposition of graphs. An O(mn3) algorithm for this decomposition is provided. At least a classification of the 2-modules of a bipartite graph is given. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
