A graph is called perfect matching compact (briefly, PM-compact), if its perfect matching graph is complete. Matching-covered PM-compact bipartite graphs have been characterized. In this paper, we show that any PM-compact bipartite graph G with δ (G) ≥ 2 has an ear decomposition such that each graph in the decomposition sequence is also PM-compact, which implies that G is matching-covered
For a 2-connected cubic graph G, the perfect matching polytope P(G) of G contains a special point [...] xc=(13,13,…,13) . The core index ϕ(P(G)) of the polytope P(G) is the minimum number of vertices of P(G) whose convex hull contains xc. The Fulkerson’s conjecture asserts that every 2-connected cubic graph G has six perfect matchings such that each edge appears in exactly two of them, namely, there are six vertices of P(G) such that xc is the convex combination of them, which implies that ϕ(P(G))...
This note is concerned with the bicriteria scheduling problem on a series-batching machine to minimize maximum cost and makespan. An ( ) algorithm has been established previously. Here is an improved algorithm which solves the problem in ( ) time.
