On perfect matchings in matching covered graphs

A graph is matching-covered if every edge of is contained in a perfect matching. A matching-covered graph is strongly coverable if, for any edge of , the subgraph is still matching-covered. An edge subset of a matching-covered graph is feasible if there exist two perfect matchings and such that , and an edge subset with at least two edges is an equivalent set if a perfect matching of contains either all edges in or none of them. A strongly matchable graph does not have an equivalent set, and any two independent edges of form a feasible set. In this paper, we show that for every integer , there exist infinitely many -regular graphs of class 1 with an arbitrarily large equivalent set that is not switching-equivalent to either or , which provides a negative answer to a problem of Lukot’ka and Rollová. For a matching-covered bipartite graph , we show that has an equivalent set if and only if it has a 2-edge-cut that separates into two balanced subgraphs, and is strongly coverable if and only if every edge-cut separating into two balanced subgraphs and satisfies and .

On mixed block graphs

A mixed complete graph is obtained from a directed cycle of length at least three by adding all the possible arcs between any non-adjacent vertices of the underlying cycle. A mixed block graph is a strongly connected directed graph whose blocks are mixed complete graphs. In this paper, we give the inverse of the distance matrix of the mixed block graph.

On the number of matchings of graphs formed by a graph operation

Let G be a simple graph. Define R(G) to be the graph obtained from G by adding a new vertex e* corresponding to each edge e = (a,b) of G and by joining each new vertex e* to the end vertices a and b of the edge e corresponding to it. In this paper, we prove that the number of matchings of R(G) is completely determined by the degree sequence of vertices of G.     

On the perfect orderability of unions of two graphs

A graph G is perfectly orderable, if it admits an order < on its vertices such that the sequential coloring algorithm delivers an optimum coloring on each induced subgraph (H, <) of (G, <). A graph is a threshold graph, if it contains no P₄, 2K₂, and C₄ as induced subgraph. A theorem of Chvátal, Hoàng, Mahadev, and de Werra states that a graph is perfectly orderable, if it is the union of two threshold graphs. In this article, we investigate possible generalizations of the above theorem. Hoàng has conjectured that, if G is the union of two graphs G₁ and G₂, then G is perfectly orderable whenever G₁ and G₂ are both P₄‐free and 2K₂‐free. We show that the complement of the chordless cycle with at least five vertices cannot be a counter‐example to this conjecture, and we prove a special case of it: if G₁ and G₂ are two edge‐disjoint graphs that are P₄‐free and 2K₂‐free, then the union of G₁ and G₂ is perfectly orderable. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

On some structural properties of generalized fullerene graphs with 13 pentagonal faces

It is shown that every generalized fullerene graph G with 13 pentagons is 2-extendable, a brick, and cyclically 5-edge-connected, i.e., that G cannot be separated into two components, each containing a cycle, by deletion of fewer than five edges. New lower bound on the number of perfect matchings in such graphs are also established.     

Smallest close to regular bipartite graphs without an almost perfect matching

A graph G is close to regular or more precisely a （d, d ＋ k）-graph, if the degree of each vertex of G is between d and d ＋ k. Let d ≥ 2 be an integer, and let G be a connected bipartite （d, d＋k）-graph with partite sets X and Y such that ｜X｜- ｜Y｜＋1. If G is of order n without an almost perfect matching, then we show in this paper that·n ≥ 6d ＋7 when k = 1,·n ≥ 4d＋ 5 when k = 2,·n ≥ 4d＋3 when k≥3.Examples will demonstrate that the given bounds on the order of G are the best possible.     

On the hierarchical product of graphs and the generalized binomial tree

In this article we follow the study of the hierarchical product of graphs, an operation recently introduced in the context of networks. A well-known example of such a product is the binomial tree which is the (hierarchical) power of the complete graph on two vertices. An appealing property of this structure is that all the eigenvalues are distinct. Here we show how to obtain a graph with this property by applying the hierarchical product. In particular, we propose a generalization of the binomial tree and study some of its main properties.

Enumeration of perfect matchings of a type of Cartesian products of graphs

Let G be a graph and let Pm(G) denote the number of perfect matchings of G.We denote the path with m vertices by P_m and the Cartesian product of graphs G and H by G×H. In this paper, as the continuance of our paper [W. Yan, F. Zhang, Enumeration of perfect matchings of graphs with reflective symmetry by Pfaffians, Adv. Appl. Math. 32 (2004) 175-188], we enumerate perfect matchings in a type of Cartesian products of graphs by the Pfaffian method, which was discovered by Kasteleyn. Here are some of our results:1. Let T be a tree and let C_n denote the cycle with n vertices. Then Pm(C₄×T)=∏(2+α²), where the product ranges over all eigenvalues α of T. Moreover, we prove that Pm(C₄×T) is always a square or double a square.2. Let T be a tree. Then Pm(P₄×T)=∏(1+3α²+α⁴), where the product ranges over all non-negative eigenvalues α of T.3. Let T be a tree with a perfect matching. Then Pm(P₃×T)=∏(2+α²), where the product ranges over all positive eigenvalues α of T. Moreover, we prove that Pm(C₄×T)=[Pm(P₃×T)]².     

Minimal configuration bicyclic graphs

The nullity η(G) of a graph G is the multiplicity of zero as an eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G. If η(G)?=?1, then the core of G is the subgraph induced by the vertices associated with the nonzero entries of the kernel eigenvector. The set of vertices which are not in the core is the periphery of G. A graph G with nullity one is minimal configuration if no two vertices in the periphery are adjacent and deletion of any vertex in the periphery increases the nullity. An ∞-graph ∞(p,?l,?q) is a graph obtained by joining two vertex-disjoint cycles C _p and C _q by a path of length l?≥?0. Let ?* be the class of bicyclic graphs with an ∞-graph as an induced subgraph. In this article, we characterize the graphs in ?* which are minimal configurations.
