RESUMO

Matching covered graphs are connected graphs in which every edge lies in a perfect matching. The base of this theory was developed by L. Lovász, and as consequence, a characterization to the matching lattice was obtained. Then it was possible to obtain a proof for a relaxation of a conjecture of Tutte, which is related to the four colors problem. There are two main decomposition procedures of a matching covered graph: tight cuts decomposition and ear decomposition. For ear decomposition one can use single or double ears. One important question asks about the minimum number of double ears of any ear decomposition of such graphs. This work gives an answer to this question It is also presented two consequences: that there is a base for the matching lattice formed solely by incidence vectors of perfect matching, and a characterization to Lin (M, Z2 ) which gives a proof to an other relaxation of the Tutte conjecture
