abstract

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 end vertex in {u,v}.

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...

Neighborhood conditions and edge-disjoint perfect matchings

Faudree, R.J., R.J. Gould and L.M. Lesniak, Neighborhood conditions and edge-disjoint perfect matchings, Discrete Mathematics 91 (1991) 33-43. A graph G satisfies the neighborhood condition ANC(G) 2 m if, for all pairs of vertices of G, the union of their neighborhoods has at least m vertices. For a fixed positive integer k, let G be a graph of even order n which satisfies the following conditi...

Rainbow perfect matchings in r-partite graph structures

A latin transversal in a square matrix of order n is a set of entries, no two in the same row or column, which are pairwise distinct. A longstanding conjecture of Ryser states that every Latin square with odd order has a latin transversal. Some results on the existence of a large partial latin transversal can be found in [11,6,16]. Mainly motivated by Ryser’s conjecture, Erdős and Spencer [8] p...

Some perfect matchings and perfect half-integral matchings in NC

We show that for any class of bipartite graphs which is closed under edge deletion and where the number of perfect matchings can be counted in NC, there is a deterministic NC algorithm for finding a perfect matching. In particular, a perfect matching can be found in NC for planar bipartite graphs and K3,3-free bipartite graphs via this approach. A crucial ingredient is part of an interior-point...

Perfect Matchings and Perfect Powers

In the last decade there have been many results about special families of graphs whose number of perfect matchings is given by perfect or near perfect powers (N. Elkies et al., J. Algebraic Combin. 1 (1992), 111– 132; B.-Y. Yang, Ph.D. thesis, Department of Mathematics, MIT, Cambridge, MA, 1991; J. Propp, New Perspectives in Geometric Combinatorics, Cambridge University Press, 1999). In this pa...

Perfect Matchings and Perfect Squares

In 1961, P.W. Kasteleyn enumerated the domino tilings of a 2n × 2n chessboard. His answer was always a square or double a square (we call such a number "squarish"), but he did not provide a combinatorial explanation for this. In the present thesis, we prove by mostly combinatorial arguments that the number of matchings of a large class of graphs with 4-fold rotational symmetry is squarish; our ...
