چکیده

In the present paper, the minimal proper alternating cycle (MPAC) rotation graph R(G) of perfect matchings of a plane bipartite graph G is defined. We show that an MPAC rotation graph R(G) of G is a directed rooted tree, and thus extend such a result for generalized polyhex graphs to arbitrary plane bipartite graphs. As an immediate result, we describe a one-to-one correspondence between MPAC systems and perfect matchings in G.

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...

Enumeration of Perfect Matchings of Graphs with Rotational Symmetry by Pfaffians

Abstract. The enumeration of perfect matchings of graphs is equivalent to the dimer problem which has applications in statistical physics. A graph G is said to be n-rotation symmetric if the cyclic group of order n is a subgroup of the automorphism group of G. The enumeration of perfect matchings of graphs with reflective symmetry was studied extensively in the past. In this paper we consider t...

Coverings, 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...

Graphical condensation of plane graphs: A combinatorial approach

The method of graphical vertex-condensation for enumerating perfect matchings of plane bipartite graph was found by Propp (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 303(2003), 267-301), and was generalized by Kuo (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 319 (2004), 29-57) and Yan and Zhang (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A, 110(2005), 113125). In this paper, by a purely combinatorial method some explicit identities on graphical vertex-cond...

Applications of graphical condensation for enumerating matchings and tilings

A technique called graphical condensation is used to prove various combinatorial identities among numbers of (perfect) matchings of planar bipartite graphs and tilings of regions. Graphical condensation involves superimposing matchings of a graph onto matchings of a smaller subgraph, and then re-partitioning the united matching (actually a multigraph) into matchings of two other subgraphs, in o...
