Perfect matchings in claw-free cubic graphs
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 18 (2011) no. 1
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 $n$-vertex graph with no cutedge has more than $2^{n/12}$ perfect matchings, thus verifying the conjecture for claw-free graphs.
