Generalizing Hall's marriage theorem to non-perfect matchings

Let $G = (X, Y, E)$ be bipartite graph such that $|X|=|Y|=n$. A matching $M \subseteq E$ is a subset of disjoint edges (i.e., there does not exist a pair of edges $(x, y) \in M$ and $(x', y') \in M$ ...

Sum of number of perfect matchings and a constant constuction

Suppose we have two bipartite graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ with perfect matching count $P_1$ and $P_2$ respectively then their disjoint union gives a bipartite graph with perfect matching $P_1P_2$. Is ...

Sum of perfect matching construction

Suppose we have two bipartite graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ with perfect matching count $P_1$ and $P_2$ respectively then their disjoint union gives a bipartite graph with perfect matching $P_1P_2$. Is ...

Number of extremal $\{0,1\}$ matrices having permanent $1$ property

Is there a function which describes the number of $\{0,1\}^{n\times n}\cap\mathbb Z^{n\times n}$ matrices having permanent $1$? I think it might be $\mathsf{poly}(n!)$ bounded. Is there a function ...

Minimum planar bipartite graph to cover all perfect matching count

Given set $\mathcal T_n=\{0,1,\dots,2^n-1\}$ what is the minimum number of vertices $2m$ needed in a planar bipartite balanced graph such that at every $i\in\mathcal T_n$ there is a graph $G\in\...

Graph to Bipartite conversion preserving number of perfect matchings

Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is there a technique to convert to a balanced bipartite graph $B$ with $O(n^c)$ vertices at some fixed $0<c$ in $O(n^{c'})$ time at some fixed $0<c'$ such that ...

On symmetric difference of $k$-partite perfect matchings

Given a bipartite graph we know that symmetric difference of any two perfect matchings is union of even cycles. Conversely when is it true that every union of even cycles comes from symmetric ...

Counting matchings in a bipartite matching-covered graph

A graph is called matching-covered if every edge is containd in a perfect matching. (Such graphs are also sometimes called "elementary", e.g. in Chapter 4 of "Matching Theory" by Lovasz & Plummer)....
