Extensions of barrier sets to nonzero roots of the matching polynomial

چکیده
In matching theory, barrier sets (also known as Tutte sets) have been studied extensively due to its connection to maximum matchings in a graph. In this paper, we first define θ-barrier sets. Our definition of a θ-barrier set is slightly different from that of a barrier set. However we show that θ-barrier sets and barrier sets have similar properties. In particular, we prove a generalized Berge’s Formula and give a characterization for the set of all θ-special vertices in a graph. keywords: matching polynomial, Gallai-Edmonds Decomposition, barrier sets, extreme sets

Let K and X be compact plane sets such that K X. Let P(K)be the uniform closure of polynomials on K. Let R(K) be the closure of rationalfunctions K with poles o K. Dene P(X;K) and R(X;K) to be the uniformalgebras of functions in C(X) whose restriction to K belongs to P(K) and R(K),respectively. Let CZ(X;K) be the Banach algebra of functions f in C(X) suchthat fjK = 0. In this paper, we show th...
متن کاملCarlitz Extensions
The ring Z has many analogies with the ring Fp[T ], where Fp is a field of prime size p. For example, for nonzero m ∈ Z and nonzero M ∈ Fp[T ], the residue rings Z/(m) and Fp[T ]/M are both finite. The unit groups Z × = {±1} and Fp[T ]× = Fp are both finite. Every nonzero integer can be made positive after multiplication by a suitable unit, and every nonzero polynomial in Fp[T ] can be made mon...
متن کاملRelationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications
ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...
متن کاملOn constant products of elements in skew polynomial rings
Let $R$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $R$ and $f(X)=a_0+a_1X+cdots+a_nX^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $R[X;alpha]$. It is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(X)=b_0+b_1X+cdots+b_mX^m$ in $R[X;alpha]$ such that $g(X)f(X)=c$ is a constant in $R$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $R$ such tha...
