Lexicographic product G ο H of two graphs G and H has vertex set V ( G ) × V ( H ) and two vertices ( u 1 , v 1 ) and ( u 2 , v 2 ) are adjacent whenever u 1 u 2 ∈ E ( G ), or u 1 = u 2 and v 1 u 2 ∈ E ( H ). If every matching of G of size k can be extended to a perfect matching in G , then G is called k-extendable . In this paper, we study matching extendability in lexicographic product of graphs. The main result is that the lexicographic product of an m -extendable graph and an n -extendable graph is ( m +1)( n +1)-extendable. In fact, we prove a slightly stronger result.
