Abstract

As a common generalization of matchings and matroid intersection, Cunningham and Geelen introduced the notion of path-matchings in 1996. Let K1,t the star with t +1 vertices. A graph is K1,t-free if G contains no K1,t as its induced subgraph. Sumner showed that (t-1)-connected K1,t-free graphs with even number of vertices have a perfect matching. In this paper, some sufficient conditions for existence of perfect path-matching of K1,t -free graphs are presented. As an immediate consequence, we improve Sumner's result.
