Abstract
A global forcing set for maximal matchings of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a set S ⊆ E(G) such that M1 ∩S = M2 ∩S for each pair of maximal matchings M1 and M2 of G. The smallest such set is called a minimum global forcing set, its size being the global forcing number for maximal matchings φgm(G) of G. In this paper, we establish lower and upper bounds on the forcing number for maximal matchings of the corona product of graphs. We also introduce an integer linear programming model for computing the forcing number for maximal matchings of graphs
