We say that a simple graph G is induced matching extendable, shortly IM-extendable, if every induced matching of G is included in a perfect matching of G. The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) For every connected IM-extendable graph 2 |V (G)| -2; the equality holds if and only if G โผ

It is proved that, in a minimal n-extendable bipartite graph, the subgraph induced by the edges both ends of which have degree at least n + 2 is a forest. As a consequence, every minimal n-extendable bipartite graph has at least 2n + 2 vertices of degree n + 1. This result is sharp. Some other struc
A theorem of states that for every n x n (n ~> 3) complete bipartite graph G such that every edge is coloured and each colour is the colour of at most two edges, there is a perfect matching whose edges have distinct colours. We give an O(n 2) algorithm for finding such a perfect matching. We show t
