Higher order matching preclusion for regular interconnection networks
For a graph with an even number of vertices, the matching preclusion number is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph with no perfect matchings. The conditional matching preclusion number, introduced as an extension of the matching preclusion number, has the additional requirement that the resulting graph has no isolated vertices. In this paper we consider results related to a further generalization of this concept, called level 2 matching preclusion. We find sufficient conditions for a graph with girth at least 4 to be level 2 maximally matched and level 2 super matched. We apply these results to the class of pancake graphs, and show that they are level 2 maximally and super matched.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of recent research results that are checked and recommended for publication by a member of the Editorial Board. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal.
Potential authors are advised to view the journal and the open calls-for-papers of special issues before submitting their manuscripts. Only high-quality, original work that is within the scope of the journal or the targeted special issue will be considered.
