We consider the perfect matching problem for a ∆-regular bipartite graph with n vertices and m edges, i.e., 1 2 n∆ = m, and present a new O(m + n log n log ∆) algorithm. Cole and Rizzi, respectively, gave algorithms of the same complexity as ours, Schrijver also devised an O(m∆) algorithm, and the b
A minimal blocker in a bipartite graph G is a minimal set of edges the removal of which leaves no perfect matching in G. We give an explicit characterization of the minimal blockers of a bipartite graph G. This result allows us to obtain a polynomial delay algorithm for finding all minimal blockers
Let G be a bipartite graph in which every edge belongs to some perfect matching, and let D be a subset of its edge set. It is shown that M fl D has the same parity for every perfect matching M if and only if D is a cut, and equivalently if and only. if (G, D) is a balanced signed-graph. This gives n
We give lower and upper bounds for the number of reducible ears as well as upper bounds for the number of perfect matchings in an elementary bipartite graph. An application to chemical graphs is also discussed. In addition, a method to construct all minimal elementary bipartite graphs is described.
