Abstract

A matching M in a graph G is a subset of E(G) in which no two edges have a vertex in common. A vertex V is unsaturated by M if there is no edge of M is incident with V. A matching M is called a perfect matching if there is no vertex of the graph is unsaturated by M. Let G be a k-edge-connected graph, k ≥ 1, on even n vertices, have minimum degree r and maximum degree r+e, e≥ 1. In this paper we find a lower bound for n when G has no perfect matchings.
