Cycle-forced Bipartite Graphs
摘要
A cycle C in a graph G is a forced cycle if G − V(C) has a unique perfect matching. A graph G is cycle-forced if in G either all even cycles or all odd cycles are forced cycles. This paper presents a characterization of cycle-forced bipartite graphs, and as a byproduct, the number of perfect matchings of a cycle-forced bipartite graph is obtained.
