Perfect Matchings in Claw-free Cubic Graphs

Perfect Matchings in Claw-free Cubic Graphs

Lovász and Plummer conjectured that there exists a fixed positive constant $c$ such that every cubic $n$-vertex graph with no cutedge has at least $2^{cn}$ perfect matchings. Their conjecture has been verified for bipartite graphs by Voorhoeve and planar graphs by Chudnovsky and Seymour. We prove that every claw-free cubic …
