Generalization of matching extensions in graphs

چکیده
Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G). Let n; k and d be non-negative integers such that n+2k+d6 |V (G)|−2 and |V (G)|−n−d is even. A matching which covers exactly |V (G)|−d vertices of G is called a defect-d matching of G. If when deleting any n vertices of G the remaining subgraph contains a matching of k edges and every k-matching can be extended to a defect-d matching, then G is called a (n; k; d)-graph. In this paper a characterization of (n; k; d)-graphs is given and several properties (such as connectivity, minimum degree, hierarchy, etc.) of (n; k; d)-graphs are investigated. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Generalization of matching extensions in graphs-combinatorial interpretation of orthogonal and q-orthogonal polynomials
In this paper, we present generalization of matching extensions in graphs and we derive combinatorial interpretation of wide classes of orthogonal and q-orthogonal polynomials. Specifically, we assign general weights to complete graphs, cycles and chains or paths defining matching extensions in these graphs. The generalized matching polynomials of these graphs have recurrences defining various ...
متن کاملUnmixed $r$-partite graphs
Unmixed bipartite graphs have been characterized by Ravindra and Villarreal independently. Our aim in this paper is to characterize unmixed $r$-partite graphs under a certain condition, which is a generalization of Villarreal's theorem on bipartite graphs. Also, we give some examples and counterexamples in relevance to this subject.
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...

In this paper, we introduce a family of graphs which is a generalization of zero-divisor graphs and compute an upper-bound for the diameter of such graphs. We also investigate their cycles and cores
متن کاملAltan derivatives of a graph
Altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons were recently introduced and studied in theoretical organic chemistry. We now provide a generalization of the altan concept, applicable to any graph. Several earlier noticed topological properties of altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons are shown to be the properties of all altan derivatives of all graphs. Among these ar...
متن کاملA generalization of Villarreal's result for unmixed tripartite graphs
In this paper we give a characterization of unmixed tripartite graphs under certain conditions which is a generalization of a result of Villarreal on bipartite graphs. For bipartite graphs two different characterizations were given by Ravindra and Villarreal. We show that these two characterizations imply each other.
