چکیده
Proof. The first equality follows directly from (1). To see the second equality, first let M be a matching of size ν(G). For each of the |V | − 2|M | vertices v missed by M , add to M an edge covering v. We obtain an edge cover of size |M |+ (|V | − 2|M |) = |V | − |M |. Hence ρ(G) ≤ |V | − ν(G). Second, let F be an edge cover of size ρ(G). For each v ∈ V delete from F , dF (v) − 1 edges incident with v. We obtain a matching of size at least |F | − ∑

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...
متن کاملCovering graphs with matchings of fixed size
Let m be a positive integer and let G be a graph. We consider the question: can the edge set E(G) of G be expressed as the union of a set M of matchings of G each of which has size exactly m? If this happens, we say that G is [m]-coverable and we call M an [m]-covering of G. It is interesting (and probably of some practical value) to consider minimum [m]-coverings, i.e. [m]-coverings containing...
متن کاملGlobal Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations
Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2, \ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$. The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$, where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$ otherwise, for each $i\in\{1,\ldots , k\}$. We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$ if $...
متن کاملPartitions of Graphs into Coverings and Hypergraphs into Transversals
A covering of a multigraph G is a subset of edges which meet ail vertices of G. Partitions of the edges of G into coverings Ci, C2,..., Ck are considered. In particular we examine how close the cardinalities of thèse coverings may be. A resuit concerning matchings is extended to the décomposition into coverings. Finally thèse considérations are generalized to the décompositions of the vertices ...
متن کاملOne-sided coverings of colored complete bipartite graphs
Assume that the edges of a complete bipartite graph K(A,B) are colored with r colors. In this paper we study coverings of B by vertex disjoint monochromatic cycles, connected matchings, and connected subgraphs. These problems occur in several applications.
