Let be a graph on and a positive integer. Let be the abstract simplicial complex whose faces are the subsets of that do not contain an independent set of size in . We study the collapsibility numbers of for various classes of graphs, focusing on the class of …
We prove that if , then any family of sets of matchings of size in any graph has a rainbow matching of size . This improves on a previous result, in which is replaced by . We also prove a "cooperative" generalization: for and , …
