Abstract
In this paper, we study graphs whose matching polynomials have only integer zeros. A graph is matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. We characterize all matching integral traceable graphs. We show that apart from K7â(E(C3)âªE(C4)) there is no connected k-regular matching integral graph if kâ¥2. It is also shown that if G is a graph with a perfect matching, then its matching polynomial has a zero in the interval (0,1]. Finally, we describe all claw-free matching integral graphs.
