  • Abstract
    The concept of the matching polynomial of a graph, introduced by Farrell in 1979, has received considerable attention and research. In this paper, we generalize this concept and introduce the matching polynomial of hypergraphs. A recurrence relation of the matching polynomial of a hypergraph is obtained. The exact matching polynomials of some special hypergraphs are given. Further, we discuss the zeros of matching polynomials of hypergraphs.
