A perfect matching is a matching of all the vertices of a graph. In other words, a perfect matching is a set of edges such that each vertex of the graph is incident to exactly one edge in the set.

Graphs with only disjoint perfect matchings

Let $G(V,E)$ be a graph. I am searching for graphs with only disjoint perfect matchings (i.e. every edge only appears in at most one of the perfect matchings). Examples: Cyclic graph $C_n$ with eve …

Complexity for calculating number of Perfect Matchings in k-regular hypergraph

Let $G(V,E)$ be a unweighted, k-regular hypergraph, with vertices $V=(v_1, ... v_n)$ and edges $E=(e_1, ... e_m)$. The k-regularity leads to $|e_i|=k$ (i.e. every edge contains exactly $k$ vertices). …

Why is the number of Perfect Matchings in a triangular grid equivalent to the number of Roya...

The sequence A006318 at OEIS stands for the Schröder numbers. They describes the number of lattice paths from the southwest corner $(0,0)$ of an $n\times n$ grid to the northeast corner $(n,n)$, …

Fastest algorithm for counting perfect matchings in a general graph

Let $G(V,E)$ be a undirected graph. I am interested in the fastest known algorithm for counting the number of perfect matchings in $G(V,E)$ (which is known to be in $\#P$). In particular, what is the …

Has this notion of vertex-coloring of graphs been studied?

In a study of a quantum physics problem, I came about an apparently very natural type of vertex colorings of a graph. The colors of the vertex $v_i$ is inherited from perfect matchings $PM$ of an edge …

Hypergraphs with only disjoint perfect matchings

Let $H(n,r)$ be the set of $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices that have only disjoint perfect matchings (i.e. every hyperedge only appears in at most one of the perfect matchings). Let $m(h(n,r) …

Why is the number of Hamiltonian Cycles of n-octahedron equivalent to the number of Perfect ...

In OEIS A003436, it is written that the number of inequivalent labeled Hamilton Cycles of an n-dimesnional Octahedron is the same as the number of Perfect Matchings in a the complement of the Cycle Gr …

Graphs with only disjoint perfect matchings, with coloring

The following purely graph-theoretic question is motivated by quantum mechanics. Definitions: A bi-colored graph $G$ is an undirected graph where every edge is colored. An edge can either be monochro …

Vertex coloring inherited from perfect matchings (motivated by quantum physics)

Added (19.01.2021): Dustin Mixon wrote a blog post about the question where he reformulated and generalized the question. Added (25.12.2020): I made a youtube video to explain the question in detail. …
