论文摘要
Drisko证明了$ 2N-1 $匹配的两部分尺寸$ n $的彩虹匹配尺寸$ n $。对于一般图,可以推测$ 2N $匹配的匹配功能足以满足此目的(并且$ n $偶数时,$ 2N-1 $匹配就足够了)。已知的图表显示了$ n $的猜想的清晰度,甚至称为徽章。我们使用新的证明线,涉及分析徽章的外观,从$ 3N-2 $提高了以前最著名的限制。我们还证明了“合作”的概括:对于$ t> 0 $和$ n \ geq 3 $,任何$ 3n-4+t $ set的边缘,每个$ t $的结合,其中包含$ n $的匹配,具有$ n $ $ n $的彩虹匹配。
Drisko proved that $2n-1$ matchings of size $n$ in a bipartite graph have a rainbow matching of size $n$. For general graphs it is conjectured that $2n$ matchings suffice for this purpose (and that $2n-1$ matchings suffice when $n$ is even). The known graphs showing sharpness of this conjecture for $n$ even are called badges. We improve the previously best known bound from $3n-2$ to $3n-3$, using a new line of proof that involves analysis of the appearance of badges. We also prove a "cooperative" generalization: for $t>0$ and $n \geq 3$, any $3n-4+t$ sets of edges, the union of every $t$ of which contains a matching of size $n$, have a rainbow matching of size $n$.
