We give a short proof of the following basic fact in matching theory: in a bipartite graph the maximum size of a matching equals the minimum size of a node cover.

β¦ Synopsis
We give a very short proof of the following theorem on k-factorable degree sequences due to Kundu [5]: Tbearem 1. Let (dl,d2,-.-,d,,) and.(d,-k,,d,-k,,...,d,-k,) be two graphical sequences satisfying k s ki s k + 1, 1 bi s n, for some k PO. Then there exists a' graph G =: (V, E) which contains a subgraph F such that &(Ui) = di and dF(ui) = ki for alI UiE(U~#U~p.**,U~)= V(G). Our proof readily extends to derive the generalizations of the above theorem obtained by Kundu [6], Kleitman and Wang [4].

For an undirected graph G=(V, E) and a collection S of disjoint subsets of V, an S-path is a path connecting different sets in S. We give a short proof of Mader's min-max theorem for the maximum number of disjoint S-paths. 2001
## Abstract For a simple graph of maximum degree Ξ, it is always possible to color the edges with Ξ + 1 colors (Vizing); furthermore, if the set of vertices of maximum degree is independent, Ξ colors suffice (Fournier). In this article, we give a short constructive proof of an extension of these re
