On determinants and permanents of minimally 1-factorable cubic bipartite graphs


Abstract


A minimally 1-factorable cubic bigraph is a graph in which every 1-factor lies in precisely one 1-factorization. The author investigates determinants and permanents of such graphs and, in particular, proves that the determinant of any minimally 1-factorable cubic bigraph of girth 4 is 0.
