Anti-forcing numbers of perfect matchings of graphs
We define the anti-forcing number of a perfect matching M of a graph G as the minimal number of edges of Gwhose deletion results in a subgraph with a unique perfect matching M , denoted by af (G,M). The anti-forcing number of a graph proposed by Vukičević and Trinajstić in Kekulé structures of molecular graphs is in fact the minimum anti-forcing number of perfect matchings. For plane bipartite ...
متن کاملGraphs with Extremal Connected Forcing Numbers
Zero forcing is an iterative graph coloring process where at each discrete time step, a colored vertex with a single uncolored neighbor forces that neighbor to become colored. The zero forcing number of a graph is the cardinality of the smallest set of initially colored vertices which forces the entire graph to eventually become colored. Connected forcing is a variant of zero forcing in which t...
متن کاملPerfect 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 کاملExtremal Graphs With a Given Number of Perfect Matchings
Let f(n, p) denote the maximum number of edges in a graph having n vertices and exactly p perfect matchings. For fixed p, Dudek and Schmitt showed that f(n, p) = n2/4 + cp for some constant cp when n is at least some constant np. For p ≤ 6, they also determined cp and np. For fixed p, we show that the extremal graphs for all n are determined by those with O( √ p) vertices. As a corollary, a com...
متن کاملAnti-forcing number of some specific graphs
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A perfect matching (or Kekul'e structure in chemical literature) of $G$ is a set of disjoint edges which covers all vertices of $G$. The anti-forcing number of $G$ is the smallest number of edges such that the remaining graph obtained by deleting these edges has a unique perfect matching and is denoted by $af(G)$. In this paper we consider some specifi...
