三次图的完美匹配指数与循环流数

Perfect matching index vs. circular flow number of a cubic graph

Edita Máčajová, Martin Škoviera

摘要:

三次图$G$的完美匹配指数,记为$π(G)$,是覆盖$G$所有边的完美匹配的最小数目。根据Berge-Fulkerson猜想,对每一个无桥三次图~ $G$,有$π(G)\le5$.具有$π\ge 5$的图的类是特别感兴趣的,因为许多图和公开问题,包括著名的循环双覆盖猜想,可以归结为它。虽然这样的图的非平凡的例子很难找到,一些无限的家庭是已知的,所有的循环流数$Φ_c(G)=5$。因此有人建议[Electron. J. Combin. 23(2016),$\#$ P3.54],$π(G)\ge 5$可能意味着$Φ_c(G)\ge 5$。在这篇文章中,我们消除这些希望,并提出了一个家庭的循环$4$ -边连通的三次图的围长至少$5$(snarks)与$π\ge 5$和$Φ_c\le 4+\frac23$。

英文摘要:

The perfect matching index of a cubic graph $G$, denoted by $π(G)$, is the smallest number of perfect matchings that cover all the edges of $G$. According to the Berge-Fulkerson conjecture, $π(G)\le5$ for every bridgeless cubic graph~$G$. The class of graphs with $π\ge 5$ is of particular interest as many conjectures and open problems, including the famous cycle double cover conjecture, can be reduced to it. Although nontrivial examples of such graphs are very difficult to find, a few infinite families are known, all with circular flow number $Φ_c(G)=5$. It has been therefore suggested [Electron. J. Combin. 23 (2016), $\#$P3.54] that $π(G)\ge 5$ might imply $Φ_c(G)\ge 5$. In this article we dispel these hopes and present a family of cyclically $4$-edge-connected cubic graphs of girth at least $5$ (snarks) with $π\ge 5$ and $Φ_c\le 4+\frac23$.
