Aharoni-Berger conjecture for graphs
Aharoni-Berger conjecture for graphs
Let be matchings of size in a graph. A rainbow matching is a matching whose edges can be assigned distinct indices so that each edge belongs to .
Aharoni-Berger conjecture. Every collection of matchings of size in a graph admits a rainbow matching of size .
This drops the bipartiteness requirement from the preceding conjecture. The bound is best possible, as shown by the cycle construction described in the source, but the general assertion remains open in the supplied text.
