Moreover, we determine the minimum size of $k$-extendable non-bipartite graphs for $k=1,\\ 2$, and pose a related conjecture for general $k$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-23T12:14:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "minimum size", "n-factor-critical graphs", "k-extendable graphs", "extendable non-bipartite graphs", "extendable bipartite graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
