The Kőnig graph process

Abstract: Say that a graph G has property mathcalK if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the order of a minimal vertex cover. We study the following process. Set and let e1,e2,dotseN be a uniformly random ordering of the edges of Kn, with n an even integer. Let G0 be the empty graph on n vertices. For mgeq0, Gm+1 is obtained from Gm by adding the edge em+1 exactly if Gmcupem+1 has property mathcalK. We analyse the behaviour of this process, focusing mainly on two questions: What can be said about the structure of GN and for which m will Gm contain a perfect matching?
