Abstract:
A graph G is 2-extendable if it has at least six vertices and every pair of independent edges extends to i.e., is a subset of a perfect matching. In this paper two classes of claw-free graphs are discussed those which are 3- regular and 3-connected and those which are 4-regular and 4-connected as well as even. None of the first class is 2-extendable, whereas those of the second class which are 2-extendable are determined. More particularly in the graphs belonging to these classes, those pairs of independent edges which extend to a perfect matching are determined.
