Factor-Critical Graphs with Given Number of Maximum Matchings

A connected graph G is said to be factor-critical if G − ν has a perfect matching for every vertex ν of G. In this paper, the factor-critical graphs G with |V(G)| maximum matchings and with |V(G)| + 1 ones are characterized, respectively. From this, some special bicritical graphs are characterized. This work is supported by the Ph.D. Programs Foundation of Ministry of Education of China (No.20070574006) and the NNSF(10201019) of China.     

Graphs isomorphic to their maximum matching graphs

The maximum matching graph M（G） of a graph G is a simple graph whose vertices are the maximum matchings of G and where two maximum matchings are adjacent in M（G） if they differ by exactly one edge. In this paper, we prove that if a graph is isomorphic to its maximum matching graph, then every block of the graph is an odd cycle.     

最大匹配的路变换图

图G的最大匹配的路变换图NM(G)是这样一个图,它以G的最大匹配为顶点,如果两个最大匹配M_1与M_2的对称差导出的图是一条路(长度没有限制),那么M_1和M_2在NM(G)中相邻.研究了这个变换图的连通性,分别得到了这个变换图是一个完全图或一棵树或一个圈的充要条件.     

一个图的匹配数条件

设G是一个简单图,在图G中任意一个最大匹配的基数叫做G的匹配数,记作v(G),在这篇文章中我们获得了下面的结果,(1)设G是连通的和不完全的,则对于x,y∈v(G)和xyE(G),v(G-{x,y}=v(G)-1的充分必要条件是(a)G[A(G)]是完全的和A(G)的每一个点和C(G)的每一个点相邻,(b)c(D(G))=|A(G)| 1,和(c)y∈D(G-x)对于x,y∈C(G)。(2)设G是连通的和不完全的,则v(G-{x,y})=v(G)-2对于x,y∈V(G)和xyE(G)的充分必要条件是GK_(n,n),其中n≥2。
