Abstract

G is a König-Egervá ry graph provided α(G)+μ(G) = |V (G)|, where μ(G) is the size of a maximum matching and α(G) is the cardinality of a maximum stable set,[2],[21]. S is a local maximum stable set of G, and we write S ∈Ψ(G), if S is a maximum stable set of the subgraph induced by S ∪ N(S), where N(S) is the neighborhood of S,[11]. Nemhauser and Trotter Jr. proved that any S ∈ Ψ(G) is a subset of a maximum stable set of G,[19]. In this paper we demonstrate that if S∈ Ψ(G), the subgraph H induced by S ∪ N(S) is a König-Egerváry graph, and M is a maximum matching in H, then M is a local maximum stable set in the line graph of G.
