On two equimatchable graph classes
2003
Discrete Mathematics
In this paper, we use the Gallai-Edmonds decomposition theory for matchings to determine the equimatchable members of two important graph classes. ...
We ÿnd that there are precisely 23 3-connected planar graphs (i.e., 3-polytopes) which are equimatchable and that there are only two cubic equimatchable graphs. ...
Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank one of the referees for spotting a aw in our original proof of Lemma 1.10. ...

Edge-Stable Equimatchable Graphs
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We are interested in equimatchable graphs such that the removal of any edge from the graph preserves the equimatchability. ...
We call an equimatchable graph G edge-stable if G∖e, that is the graph obtained by the removal of edge e from G, is also equimatchable for any e ∈ E(G). ...
We note that equimatchable graphs are closely related to a well-studied graph class called well-covered graphs. ...

Critical Equimatchable Graphs
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
We show that apart from two simple cases, namely bipartite ECE-graphs and even cliques, all ECE-graphs are 2-connected factor-critical. ...
Our result provides a partial answer to an open question posed by Levit and Mandrescu on the characterization of well-covered graphs with no shedding vertex. ...
For each class, one can check that the removal of no independent set of size 3 leaves a graph with a perfect matching, proving equimatchability by Lemma 2.6. ...

Triangle-Free Equimatchable Graphs
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
A graph is called equimatchable if all of its maximal matchings have the same size. Frendrup et al. [8] provided a characterization of equimatchable graphs with girth at least 5. ...
In this paper, we extend this result by providing a complete structural characterization of equimatchable graphs with girth at least 4, i.e., equimatchable graphs with no triangle, by identifying the equimatchable ...
We then discuss the class of factor-critical equimatchable triangle-free graphs. In Section 4, we structurally characterize this graph class by identifying graph families in this class. ...

On the other hand, G is called as a split graph if its vertices can be partitioned into two subsets for which one of them forms a clique whereas the second forms an independent set. ...
We will give a linear time algorithm for recognition of equimatchable split graphs. ...

Equimatchable factor-critical graphs and independence number 2
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
It is known that any 2-connected equimatchable graph is either bipartite, or factor-critical, and that these two classes are disjoint. ...
On the other hand, since every 2-connected odd graph with independence number 2 is equimatchable, we get the following result. ...
Equimatchable graphs G such that G ∪ {e} is equimatchable for every edge e of the complement G of G are further investigated in [3] , together with other extremal classes of equimatchable graphs. ...

On two extensions of equimatchable graphs
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
In this work we introduce two extensions of the property of equimatchability by defining two new graph parameters that measure how far a graph is from being equimatchable. ...
A graph is said to be equimatchable if all its maximal matchings are of the same size. ...
In this paper we generalize the property of equimatchability of graphs in two further ways by introducing two graph parameters measuring how far a graph is from being equimatchable. ...

[A note on equimatchable graphs, Australas. J. ...
For an equimatchable graph, an edge is said to be a critical-edge if the graph obtained by the removal of this edge is not equimatchable. ...
The class of equimatchable graphs is separated into two complementary subclasses, namely factor-critical and non-factor-critical equimatchable graphs. ...

Equimatchable claw-free graphs

In this paper, we provide, to the best of our knowledge, the first characterization of claw-free equimatchable graphs by identifying the equimatchable claw-free graph families. ...
A graph is equimatchable if all of its maximal matchings have the same size. A graph is claw-free if it does not have a claw as an induced subgraph. ...

2-connected equimatchable graphs on surfaces

We use this result to improve the upper bounds on the maximum size of $2$-connected equimatchable factor-critical graphs embeddable in the orientable surface of genus $g$ to $4\sqrt g+17$ if $g\le 2$ and ...
A graph $G$ is equimatchable if any matching in $G$ is a subset of a maximum-size matching. It is known that any $2$-connected equimatchable graph is either bipartite or factor-critical. ...
Therefore, these two classes are disjoint. All 3-connected planar equimatchable graphs are characterised in [7] -there are 23 such graphs and none of them is bipartite. ...

We also show that, although the recognition of well-indumatched graphs is known to be co-NP-complete in general, one can recognize in polynomial time well-indumatched graphs where the size of maximal induced ...
On the other hand, there are infinitely many well-indumatched unicyclic graphs of girth k, where k is in 3, 5, 7 or k is an even integer greater than 2. ...
Some other graph classes that could be investigated in this direction are interval graphs, claw-free graphs or equimatchable graphs. ...
