چکیده

In a bipartite graph G, a set S ⊆ V (G) is deficient if |N(S)| < |S|. A matching M (with vertex set U) is k-suitable if G − U has no deficient set of size less than k. Let fk(d) be the maximum r such that in the d-dimensional hypercube Qd every k-suitable matching having size at most r extends to a perfect matching. We generalize results of Limaye and Sarvate by proving that fk(d) = k(d− k) + ( k−1 2 ) for k ≤ d− 3. To this end we prove lower bounds on the sizes of neighborhoods of vertex sets in Qd. We also prove that every induced matching in Qd extends to a perfect matching.

Object-oriented and ontology-alignment patterns-based expressive Mediation Bridge Ontology (MBO)

Semantic web is dependent on extensive knowledge management by inter linking resources on the web using matching techniques. This role is played by the progressing domain of ontology matching, by introducing ontology matching tools. The focus of these matching tools is limited to matching techniques and automation only, rather than expressive formal representation of alignments. We propose Medi...

The Balanced Hypercube: A Cube-Based System for Fault-Tolerant Applications

In this paper, we present an interconnection structure, called the balanced hypercube, which is a variation of the standard hypercube with desirable properties of strong connectivity, regularity, and symmetry. The proposed structure is a special type of load balanced graph designed to tolerate processor failure. In balanced hypercubes, each processor has a backup (matching) processor that share...

Prescribed matchings extend to Hamiltonian cycles in hypercubes with faulty edges

Ruskey and Savage asked the following question: Does every matching of Qn for n ≥ 2 extend to a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn? J. Fink showed that the question is true for every perfect matching, and solved the Kreweras’ conjecture. In this paper we consider the question in hypercubes with faulty edges. We show that every matching M of at most 2n− 1 edges can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn ...

Perfect matchings extend to Hamilton cycles in hypercubes

Kreweras’ conjecture [1] asserts that any perfect matching of the hypercube Qd, d ≥ 2, can be extended to a Hamilton cycle. We prove this conjecture.

On the role of hypercubes in the resonance graphs of benzenoid graphs

The resonance graph R(B) of a benzenoid graph B has the perfect matchings of B as vertices, two perfect matchings being adjacent if their symmetric difference forms the edge set of a hexagon of B . A family P of pair-wise disjoint hexagons of a benzenoid graph B is resonant in B if B−P contains at least one perfect matching, or if B − P is empty. It is proven that there exists a surjective map ...
