Abstract
We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in an undirected simple graph with an even number of vertices, in terms of the degrees of all the vertices in . This bound is sharp if is a union of complete bipartite graphs. This bound is a generalization of the upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in bipartite graphs on vertices given by the Bregman-Minc inequality for the permanents of matrices.
