Characterizations of various matching extensions in graphs

چکیده
Let n be a positive integer with n $; (V(O)-2)/2. A graph G is nextendable if it contains a set of n independent edges and every set of n independent edges can be extended to a perfect matching of G. In this paper, we give a characterization of n-extendable graphs. The characterizations of other matching extension are also discussed.

Matching Integral Graphs of Small Order
In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...
متن کاملDecycling a Graph by the Removal of a Matching: Characterizations for Special Classes
A graph G is matching-decyclable if it has a matching M such that G−M is acyclic. Deciding whether G is matching-decyclable is an NPcomplete problem even if G is 2-connected, planar, and subcubic. In this work we present characterizations of matching-decyclability in the following classes: chordal graphs, split graphs, distance-hereditary graphs, cographs, and Hamiltonian subcubic graphs. All t...
متن کاملGeneralization of matching extensions in graphs-combinatorial interpretation of orthogonal and q-orthogonal polynomials
In this paper, we present generalization of matching extensions in graphs and we derive combinatorial interpretation of wide classes of orthogonal and q-orthogonal polynomials. Specifically, we assign general weights to complete graphs, cycles and chains or paths defining matching extensions in these graphs. The generalized matching polynomials of these graphs have recurrences defining various ...
متن کاملCapturing Topology in Graph Pattern Matching
Graph pattern matching is often defined in terms of subgraph isomorphism, an np-complete problem. To lower its complexity, various extensions of graph simulation have been considered instead. These extensions allow pattern matching to be conducted in cubic-time. However, they fall short of capturing the topology of data graphs, i.e., graphs may have a structure drastically different from patter...
متن کاملOn the saturation number of graphs
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. A matching $M$ is maximal if it cannot be extended to a larger matching in $G$. The cardinality of any smallest maximal matching in $G$ is the saturation number of $G$ and is denoted by $s(G)$. In this paper we study the saturation numbe...
