Title
Equality of distance packing numbers
Abstract
We characterize the graphs for which the independence number equals the packing number. As a consequence we obtain simple structural descriptions of the graphs for which (i) the distance- k -packing number equals the distance- 2 k -packing number, and (ii) the distance- k -matching number equals the distance- 2 k -matching number. This last result considerably simplifies and extends previous results of Cameron and Walker (2005). For positive integers k 1 and k 2 with k 1
