    Abstract

    Aharoni and Berger conjectured that in every proper edge-colouring of a bipartite multigraph by n colours with at least n + 1 edges of each colour there is a rainbow matching using every colour. This conjecture generalizes a longstanding problem of Brualdi and Stein about transversals in Latin squares. Here an approximate version of the Aharoni-Berger Conjecture is proved—it is shown that if there are at least n+o(n) edges of each colour in a proper n-edge-colouring of a bipartite multigraph then there is a rainbow matching using every colour.
