We say that a metric graph is uniformly bounded if the degrees of all vertices are uniformly bounded and the lengths of edges are pinched between two positive constants; a metric space is approximable by a uniform graph if there is one…

A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. This notion was defined by Golumbic, Hirst, and Lewenstein and studied in a number of articles. Our contribution is twofold. We…
