Abstract
A [see formula in PDF]-fullerene is a connected cubic plane graph whose faces are only triangles and hexagons, and has the connectivity [see formula in PDF] or [see formula in PDF]. The [see formula in PDF]-fullerenes with connectivity [see formula in PDF] are the tubes consisting of [see formula in PDF] concentric hexagonal layers such that each layer consists of two hexagons, capped on each end by two adjacent triangles, denoted by [see formula in PDF]. A [see formula in PDF]-fullerene [see formula in PDF] with [see formula in PDF] vertices has exactly [see formula in PDF] perfect matchings. The structure of a [see formula in PDF]-fullerene [see formula in PDF] with connectivity [see formula in PDF] can be determined by only three parameters [see formula in PDF], [see formula in PDF] and[see formula in PDF], thus we denote it by [see formula in PDF], where [see formula in PDF] is the radius (number of rings), [see formula in PDF] is the size (number of spokes in each layer, [see formula in PDF], [see formula in PDF] is even), and [see formula in PDF] is the torsion ([see formula in PDF]). In this paper, the counting formula of the perfect matchings in [see formula in PDF]is given, and the number of perfect matchings is obtained. Therefore, the correctness of the conclusion that every bridgeless cubic graph with [see formula in PDF] vertices has at least [see formula in PDF] perfect matchings proposed by Esperet et al is verified for [see formula in PDF]-fullerene [see formula in PDF].
期刊介绍:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences aims to promote rapid communication and exchange between the World and Wuhan University, as well as other Chinese universities and academic institutions. It mainly reflects the latest advances being made in many disciplines of scientific research in Chinese universities and academic institutions. The journal also publishes papers presented at conferences in China and abroad. The multi-disciplinary nature of Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences is apparent in the wide range of articles from leading Chinese scholars. This journal also aims to introduce Chinese academic achievements to the world community, by demonstrating the significance of Chinese scientific investigations.
