For bipartite graphs the NP-completeness is proved for the problem of existence of maximum matching which removal leads to a graph with given lower(upper)bound for the cardinality of its maximum matching.

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A $k$-matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,\ldots, k\}$ satisfying $\sum_{e \in E_G(v)} f(e) \leq k$ for every vertex $v \in V(G)$,…

The (Perfect) Matching Cut problem is to decide if a connected graph has a (perfect) matching that is also an edge cut. The Disconnected Perfect Matching problem is to decide if a connected graph has a perfect matching that contains a…

In this paper we prove a generalized version of Hall's theorem for hypergraphs. More precisely, let H be a k-uniform k- partite hypergraph with some ordering on parts as V1, V2,..., Vk. such that the subhypergraph generated on union of V1,…

In this paper, we obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of parity factors in a regular graph in terms of edge-connectivity. Moreover, we also show that our condition is sharp.

In this paper we study conditions which guarantee the existence of perfect matchings and perfect fractional matchings in uniform hypergraphs. We reduce this problem to an old conjecture by Erd\H{o}s on estimating the maximum number of edges…

This paper formulates a necessary and sufficient condition for a generic graph matching problem to be equivalent to the maximum vertex and edge weight clique problem in a derived association graph. The consequences of this results are…

In this paper, perfect k-orthogonal colourings of tensor graphs are studied. First, the problem of determining if a given graph has a perfect 2-orthogonal colouring is reformulated as a tensor subgraph problem. Then, it is shown that if two…

In 1982 Papadimitriou and Yannakakis introduced the Exact Matching problem, in which given a red and blue edge-colored graph $G$ and an integer $k$ one has to decide whether there exists a perfect matching in $G$ with exactly $k$ red edges.…

In this work we consider a straightforward linear programming formulation of the recently introduced $\{k\}$-packing function problem in graphs, for each fixed value of the positive integer number $k$. We analyse a special relation between…

We introduce the concept of matching connectivity as a notion of connectivity in graph admitting perfect matchings which heavily relies on the structural properties of those matchings. We generalise a result of Robertson, Seymour and Thomas…

Perfect colorings (equitable partitions) of graphs are extensively studied, while the same concept for hypergraphs attracts much less attention. The aim of this paper is to develop basic notions and properties of perfect colorings for…

A perfect matching in a 4-uniform hypergraph is a subset of $\lfloor\frac{n}{4}\rfloor$ disjoint edges. We prove that if $H$ is a sufficiently large 4-uniform hypergraph on $n=4k$ vertices such that every vertex belongs to more than…

Let $G$ be a matching-covered graph, i.e., every edge is contained in a perfect matching. An edge subset $X$ of $G$ is feasible if there exists two perfect matchings $M_1$ and $M_2$ such that $|M_1\cap X|\not\equiv |M_2\cap X| \pmod 2$.…

In the Matching Cut problem we ask whether a graph $G$ has a matching cut, that is, a matching which is also an edge cut of $G$. We consider the variants Perfect Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching where we ask whether there…

Given a graph with edges colored red or blue and an integer $k$, the exact perfect matching problem asks if there exists a perfect matching with exactly $k$ red edges. There exists a randomized polylogarithmic-time parallel algorithm to…

We study how many comparability subgraphs are needed to partition the edge set of a perfect graph. We show that many classes of perfect graphs can be partitioned into (at most) two comparability subgraphs and this holds for almost all…

A graph is called matching covered if for its every edge there is a maximum matching containing it. It is shown that minimal matching covered graphs contain a perfect matching.
