Abstract

Let r3r\geq 3 be an integer and GG be a graph. Let δ(G),Δ(G)\delta(G), \Delta(G), α(G)\alpha(G) and μ(G)\mu(G) denotes minimum degree, maximum degree, independence number and matching number of GG, respectively. Recently, Caro, Davila and Pepper proved δ(G)α(G)Δ(G)μ(G)\delta(G)\alpha(G)\leq \Delta(G)\mu(G). Mohr and Rautenbach characterized the extremal graphs for non-regular graphs and 3-regular graphs. In this note, we characterize the extremal graphs for all rr-regular graphs in term of Gallai-Edmonds Structure Theorem, which extends Mohr and Rautenbach's result.
