Forbidden subgraphs and the Ko{double acute}nig property
A graph has the Konig property if its matching number equals its transversal number. Lovász proved a characterization of graphs having the Konig property by forbidden subgraphs, restricted to graphs with a perfect matching. Korach, Nguyen, and Peis proposed an extension of Lovász's result to a...

A graph has the Konig property if its matching number equals its transversal number. Lovász proved a characterization of graphs having the Konig property by forbidden subgraphs, restricted to graphs with a perfect matching. Korach, Nguyen, and Peis proposed an extension of Lovász's result to a characterization of all graphs having the Konig property in terms of forbidden configurations (certain arrangements of a subgraph and a maximum matching). In this work, we prove a characterization of graphs having the Konig property in terms of forbidden subgraphs which is a strengthened version of the characterization by Korach et al. As a consequence of our characterization of graphs with the Konig property, we prove a forbidden subgraph characterization for the class of edge-perfect graphs. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. |
