چکیده

We give lower and upper bounds for the number of reducible ears as well as upper bounds for the number of perfect matchings in an elementary bipartite graph. An application to chemical graphs is also discussed. In addition, a method to construct all minimal elementary bipartite graphs is described.

Perfect Matchings in Edge-Transitive Graphs

We find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph G by splitting G into subgraphs H and Q. We use these formulas to count perfect matching of P hypercube Qn. We also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in G, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...

Matchings in Random Biregular Bipartite Graphs

We study the existence of perfect matchings in suitably chosen induced subgraphs of random biregular bipartite graphs. We prove a result similar to a classical theorem of Erdős and Rényi about perfect matchings in random bipartite graphs. We also present an application to commutative graphs, a class of graphs that are featured in additive number theory.

Forcing faces in plane bipartite graphs

Let denote the class of connected plane bipartite graphs with no pendant edges. A finite face s of a graphG ∈ is said to be a forcing face ofG if the subgraph ofG obtained by deleting all vertices of s together with their incident edges has exactly one perfect matching. This is a natural generalization of the concept of forcing hexagons in a hexagonal system introduced in Che and Chen [Forcing ...

Some perfect matchings and perfect half-integral matchings in NC

We show that for any class of bipartite graphs which is closed under edge deletion and where the number of perfect matchings can be counted in NC, there is a deterministic NC algorithm for finding a perfect matching. In particular, a perfect matching can be found in NC for planar bipartite graphs and K3,3-free bipartite graphs via this approach. A crucial ingredient is part of an interior-point...
