In interconnection networks, matching preclusion is a measure of robustness when there is a link failure. Let $G$ be a graph of even order. The matching preclusion number $mp(G)$ is defined as the minimum number of edges whose deletion…

Matching preclusion is a measure of robustness in the event of edge failure in interconnection networks. As a generalization of matching preclusion, the fractional matching preclusion number (FMP number for short) of a graph is the minimum…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-extendable if every matching of size $k$ in $G$ can be extended to a perfect matching of $G$, where $k$ is a positive integer. We say $G$ is $1$-excludable if for every edge $e$ of $G$, there exists a perfect…
Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $k\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$, is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their symmetric difference…
We define the anti-forcing number of a perfect matching $M$ of a graph $G$ as the minimal number of edges of $G$ whose deletion results in a subgraph with a unique perfect matching $M$, denoted by $af(G,M)$. The anti-forcing number of a…
We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…
Since a plurality of processors in a distributed computer system working in parallel, to ensure the fault tolerance and stability of the network is an important issue in distributed systems. As the topology of the distributed network can be…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph is a \emph{proper tree} if any two adjacent edges of $T$ are colored with different colors. Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and $k$ be a fixed integer with $2\leq k\leq n$. For a vertex set $S\subseteq…
