Matchings in hexagonal cacti

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1987
Explicit recurrences are derived for the matching polynomials of the basic types of hexagonal cacti, the linear cactus and the star cactus and also for an associated graph, called the hexagonal crown.

Classical Dimers on Penrose Tilings

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2020
We study the classical dimer model on rhombic Penrose tilings, whose edges and vertices may be identified as those of a bipartite graph. We find that Penrose tilings do not admit perfect matchings (defect-free dimer coverings).

Almost all Steiner triple systems are almost resolvable

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2020
We show that for any n divisible by 3, almost all order-n Steiner triple systems admit a decomposition of almost all their triples into disjoint perfect matchings (that is, almost all Steiner triple systems are almost resolvable).

Some perfect matchings and perfect half-integral matchings in NC

open access: yes, 2008
We show that for any class of bipartite graphs which is closed under edge deletion and where the number of perfect matchings can be counted in NC, there is a deterministic NC algorithm for finding a perfect matching. In particular, a perfect matching can

Perfect matchings and perfect squares

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1994
The author investigates (perfect) matchings of a large class of graphs with 4-fold rotational symmetry. It is proved by mostly combinatorial arguments that the number of such matchings is always a square or double a square. This result has an interesting application to tilings by dominoes.

Counting perfect matchings in n-extendable graphs

open access: yes, 2008
The structural theory of matchings is used to establish lower bounds on the number of perfect matchings in n-extendable graphs. It is shown that any such graph on p vertices and q edges contains at least ⌈(n+1)!/4[q-p-(n-1)(2Δ-3)+4]⌉ different perfect ...

A note on perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs with large minimum collective degree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
summary:For an integer $k\ge2$ and a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, let $\delta_{k-1}(H)$ be the largest integer $d$ such that every $(k-1)$-element set of vertices of $H$ belongs to at least $d$ edges of $H$.

A short proof of the toughness of Delaunay triangulations

open access: yesJournal of Computational Geometry, 2021
We present a self-contained short proof of the seminal result of Dillencourt (SoCG 1987 and DCG 1990) that Delaunay triangulations, of planar point sets in general position, are 1-tough.
