Induced matchings in graphs of degree at most 4
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that if G is a connected graph of maximum degree at most 4, which is not C2,5, then the strong matching number of G is at least 1 9n(G). This bound is tight and the proof implies a polynomial time algorithm to find an induced matching of this size.

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...
متن کاملCoverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs
The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...
متن کاملk-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree
A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...
متن کاملOn the Number of Matchings in Regular Graphs
For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of 2s and 1s, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of m-matchings. We find the expected value of the number of m-matchings of r-regular bipartite graphs on 2n vertices with respect to the two standard measures. We state and discuss the conjectured u...
متن کاملThe strong chromatic index of C4-free graphs
The strong chromatic index of a graph G is the minimum number of induced matchings which partition E(G). In 1985, Erd} os and Ne set ril conjectured that the strong chromatic index of every graph of maximum degree is at most 5 4 2. In this paper, we use probabilistic method to prove an asymptotically better result for graphs which do not have a cycle of length 4. Also, we show that our bound is...
