Abstract

The set of all perfect matchings of a plane (weakly) elementary bipartite graph equipped with a partial order is a poset, moreover the poset is a finite distributive lattice and its Hasse diagram is isomorphic to ZZ-transformation directed graph of the graph. A finite distributive lattice is matchable if its Hasse diagram is isomorphic to a ZZ-transformation directed graph of a plane weakly elementary bipartite graph, otherwise non-matchable. We introduce the meet-irreducible cell with respect to a perfect matching of a plane (weakly) elementary bipartite graph and give its equivalent characterizations. Using these, we extend a result on non-matchable distributive lattices, and obtain a class of new non-matchable distributive lattices.
