A unified proof for Karzanov's exact matching theorem

Hans-Florian Geerdes, Jácint Szabó



Abstract

We give a short inductive proof for a pair of theorems of Karzanov characterizing when complete and complete bipartite graphs with red and blue edges have a perfect matching with exactly k red edges. In contrast with Karzanov's approach, our proof handles both cases simultaneously.
