Core Index of Perfect Matching Polytope for a 2-Connected Cubic Graph

Xiumei Wang, Yixun Lin (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a 2-connected cubic graph G, the perfect matching polytope P(G) of G contains a special point [...] xc=(13,13,…,13) x c = 1 3 , 1 3 , ... , 1 3 . 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...

A Maximum Resonant Set of Polyomino Graphs

Heping Zhang, Xiangqian Zhou (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A polyomino graph P is a connected finite subgraph of the infinite plane grid such that each finite face is surrounded by a regular square of side length one and each edge belongs to at least one square. A dimer covering of P corresponds to a perfect matching. Different dimer coverings can interact via an alternating cycle (or square) with respect to them. A set of disjoint squares of P is a resonant set if P has a perfect matching M so that each one of those squares is M-alternating....

Cores, Joins and the Fano-Flow Conjectures

Ligang Jin, Eckhard Steffen, Giuseppe Mazzuoccolo (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Fan-Raspaud Conjecture states that every bridgeless cubic graph has three 1-factors with empty intersection. A weaker one than this conjecture is that every bridgeless cubic graph has two 1-factors and one join with empty intersection. Both of these two conjectures can be related to conjectures on Fano-flows. In this paper, we show that these two conjectures are equivalent to some statements on cores and weak cores of a bridgeless cubic graph. In particular, we prove that the Fan-Raspaud...

Mácajová and Škoviera conjecture on cubic graphs

Jean-Luc Fouquet, Jean-Marie Vanherpe (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A conjecture of Mácajová and Skoviera asserts that every bridgeless cubic graph has two perfect matchings whose intersection does not contain any odd edge cut. We prove this conjecture for graphs with few vertices and we give a stronger result for traceable graphs.

A note on pm-compact bipartite graphs

Jinfeng Liu, Xiumei Wang (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

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

Conditions for β-perfectness

Judith Keijsper, Meike Tewes (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A β-perfect graph is a simple graph G such that χ(G') = β(G') for every induced subgraph G' of G, where χ(G') is the chromatic number of G', and β(G') is defined as the maximum over all induced subgraphs H of G' of the minimum vertex degree in H plus 1 (i.e., δ(H)+1). The vertices of a β-perfect graph G can be coloured with χ(G) colours in polynomial time (greedily). The main purpose of this paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of forbidden...

Mycielskians and matchings

Tomislav Doslić (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

It is shown in this note that some matching-related properties of graphs, such as their factor-criticality, regularizability and the existence of perfect 2-matchings, are preserved when iterating Mycielski's construction.

On a perfect problem

Igor E. Zverovich (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We solve Open Problem (xvi) from Perfect Problems of Chvátal [1] available at ftp://dimacs.rutgers.edu/pub/perfect/problems.tex: Is there a class C of perfect graphs such that (a) C does not include all perfect graphs and (b) every perfect graph contains a vertex whose neighbors induce a subgraph that belongs to C? A class P is called locally reducible if there exists a proper subclass C of P such that every graph in P contains a local subgraph...
