Abstract

An induced matching MM in a graph GG is a matching in GG that is also the edge set of an induced subgraph of GG. That is, any edge not in MM must have no more than one incident vertex saturated by MM. The maximum size M|M| of an induced matching MM of GG is maximum induced matching number of GG, which is denoted by Max(G)\textrm{Max}(G). In this article, we obtain upper bounds for Max(G)\textrm{Max}(G), for G=Gn,mG=G_{n,m}, grids with n,m9n,m \geq 9, m1mod4m\equiv 1 \mod 4 and nmnm odd.
