A graph is considered to be induced-matching extendable (bipartite matching extendable) if every induced matching (bipartite matching) of G is included in a perfect matching of G. The induced-matching extendability and bipartite-matching extendability of graphs have been of interest. By letting G = C m ∨ P n ( m ≥ 3 and n ≥ 1 ) be the graph join of C m (the cycle with m vertices) and P n (the path with n vertices) contains a perfect matching, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for G to be induced-matching extendable and bipartite-matching extendable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
