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...
