Determination of (0,2)-regular sets in graphs and applications Book Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A (k,τ)-regular set in a graph is a subset of vertices inducing a k-regular subgraph and such that each vertex not in the set has exactly τ neighbours in it. We will present a new algorithm for the determination of (0,2)-regular sets as well as its application to the determination of maximum matchings in arbitrary graphs.
  • In this paper, relevant results about the determination of ( κ , τ )- regular sets, using the main eigenvalues of a graph, are reviewed and some results about the determination of (0,2)-regular sets are introduced. An algorithm for that purpose is also described. As an illustration, this algorithm is applied to the determination of maximum matchings in arbitrary graphs.
