A perfect 1-factorization (P1F) of a graph is a 1-factorization having the property that every pair of 1-factors is a perfect pair. A perfect 1-factorization should not be confused with a perfect matching (also called a 1-factor). In 1964, Anton Kotzig conjectured that every complete graph K 2n where n ≥ 2 has a perfect 1-factorization. So ...
A perfect matching is also called a 1-factor; see Graph factorization for an explanation of this term. In some literature, the term complete matching is used. Every perfect matching is a maximum-cardinality matching, but the opposite is not true. For example, consider the following graphs: [1]
An graph (or a component) with an odd number of vertices cannot have a perfect matching, since there will always be a vertex left alone. The goal is to characterize all graphs that do not have a perfect matching. Start with the most obvious case of a graph without a perfect matching: a graph with an odd number of vertices.
The 1-factorization conjecture that if is odd or even and , respectively, then a -regular graph with vertices is 1-factorable. The perfect 1-factorization conjecture that every complete graph on an even number of vertices admits a perfect 1-factorization.
In graph theory, the Tutte matrix A of a graph G = (V, E) is a matrix used to determine the existence of a perfect matching: that is, a set of edges which is incident with each vertex exactly once. If the set of vertices is V = { 1 , 2 , … , n } {\displaystyle V=\{1,2,\dots ,n\}} then the Tutte matrix is an n -by- n matrix A with entries
In a cubic graph with a perfect matching, the edges that are not in the perfect matching form a 2-factor. By orienting the 2-factor, the edges of the perfect matching can be extended to paths of length three, say by taking the outward-oriented edges. This shows that every cubic, bridgeless graph decomposes into edge-disjoint paths of length ...
There had been a knock and an eerie silence, then an attempt by two men to force the door open. Bryan Yeshion Schneps, a 21‑year‑old Temple University student, tried to prevent his attackers from gaining entry. He pressed his hands, his shoulders, his knees, his feet, the full weight of his 6'1", 180‑pound body against the door.
A factor-critical graph, together with perfect matchings of the subgraphs formed by removing one of its vertices. In graph theory, a mathematical discipline, a factor-critical graph (or hypomatchable graph [1] [2]) is a graph with n vertices in which every induced subgraph of n − 1 vertices has a perfect matching. (A perfect matching in a ...
