Abstract

In this paper we solve the following problem on the lattice graph L(m1,…,mn) and the Hamming graph H(m1,…,mn), generalizing a result of Felzenbaum-Holzman-Kleitman on the n-dimensional cube (all mi = 2): Characterize the vectors (s1.…,sn) such that there exists a maximum matching in L, respectively, H with exactly si edges in the ith direction.
