Abstract

A graph is König-Egerváry if the size of a minimum vertex cover equals that of a maximum matching in the graph. These graphs have been studied extensively from a graph-theoretic point of view. In this paper, we introduce and study the algorithmic complexity of finding König-Egerváry subgraphs of a given graph. In particular, given a graph G and a nonnegative integer k, we are interested in the following questions: 1. does there exist a set of k vertices (edges) whose deletion makes the graph König-Egerváry? 2. does there exist a set of k vertices (edges) that induce a König-Egerváry subgraph?
