Abstract

Konig-Egerváry graphs (KEGs) are the graphs whose maximum size of a matching is equal to the minimum size of a vertex cover. We give an excluded subgraph characterization of KEGs. We show that KEGs are a special case of a more general class of graph: Red/'Blue-split graphs, and give an excluded subgraph characterization of Red/Blue-split graphs. We show several consequences of this result including theorems of Deming-Sterboul, Lovász, and Földes-Hammer. A refined result of Schrijver on the integral solution of certain systems of linear inequalities is also given through the result on the weighted version of Red/Blue-split graphs.
