Abstract
The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost perfect matchings. As a generalization, Liu and Liu introduced the concept of fractional matching preclusion number in 2017. The Fractional Matching Preclusion Number (FMP number) of G is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves the resulting graph without a fractional perfect matching. The Fractional Strong Matching Preclusion Number (FSMP number) of G is the minimum number of vertices and/or edges whose deletion leaves the resulting graph without a fractional perfect matching. In this paper, we obtain the FMP number and the FSMP number for (n, k)-star graphs. In addition, all the optimal fractional strong matching preclusion sets of these graphs are categorized.
