On the matching polynomial of hypergraphs∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of the matching polynomial of a graph, introduced by Farrell in 1979, has received considerable attention and research. In this paper, we generalize this concept and introduce the matching polynomial of hypergraphs. A recurrence relation of the matching polynomial of a hypergraph is obtained. The exact matching polynomials of some special hypergraphs are given. Further, we discuss the zeros of matching polynomials of hypergraphs. 2010 MSC: 05C31, 05C65, 05C70

Approximate Counting of Matchings in Sparse Hypergraphs
In this paper we give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme (FPRAS) for the number of all matchings in hypergraphs belonging to a class of sparse, uniform hypergraphs. Our method is based on a generalization of the canonical path method to the case of uniform hypergraphs.
متن کاملApproximate Counting of Matchings in (3, 3)-Hypergraphs
We design a fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for counting the number of matchings (packings) in arbitrary 3-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree three, referred to as (3, 3)hypergraphs. It is the first polynomial time approximation scheme for that problem, which includes also, as a special case, the 3D Matching counting problem for 3-partite (3, 3)-hypergraphs. The proof tech...
متن کاملRelationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications
ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...
متن کاملComputational Complexity of the Perfect Matching Problem in Hypergraphs with Subcritical Density
In this paper we consider the computational complexity of deciding the existence of a perfect matching in certain classes of dense k-uniform hypergraphs. It has been known that the perfect matching problem for the classes of hypergraphs H with minimum ((k l)-wise) vertex degree o(H) at least clV(H)1 is NP-complete for c< -!;; and trivial for c 2': ~, leaving the status of the problem with c in ...
متن کاملMatching Integral Graphs of Small Order
In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...
