Graphs with large maximum forcing number
Qianqian Liu, Ajit A. Diwan, Heping Zhang
For a graph with order and a perfect matching, let and denote the minimum and maximum forcing number of respectively. Then .…
Extremal minimal bipartite matching covered graphs
Amit Kumar Mallik, Ajit A. Diwan, Nishad Kothari
A connected graph, on four or more vertices, is matching covered (aka 1-extendable) if every edge is present in some perfect matching. An ear decomposition theorem exists for bipar…
Planar cycle-extendable graphs
Aditya Y Dalwadi, Kapil R Shenvi Pause, Ajit A Diwan +1
For most problems pertaining to perfect matchings, one may restrict attention to matching covered graphs - that is, connected nontrivial graphs with the property that each edge bel…
Cycles of weight divisible by
Ajit A. Diwan
A weighted (directed) graph is a (directed) graph with integer weights assigned to its vertices and edges. The weight of a subgraph is the sum of weights of vertices and edges in t…
