Conditional Strong Matching Preclusion Of The Alternating Group Graph, Mohamad Abdallah, Eddie Cheng

Theory and Applications of Graphs

The strong matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of vertices and edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost-perfect matchings. Park and Ihm introduced the problem of strong matching preclusion under the condition that no isolated vertex is created as a result of faults. In this paper, we find the conditional strong matching preclusion number for the n-dimensional alternating group graph AG_n.
