We study perfect matchings M in graphs G that have the two properties of being robust as well as recoverable ; where robust means that the failure of a set F ′ of not too many edges of G can be compensated, and recoverable means that this compensation can be done in an efficient way, that is, G − F ′ has a perfect matching M ′ for which the symmetric difference of M and M ′ is small. We establish the hardness of several related algorithmic problems and identify some tractable cases. Among others we show the hardness of the well known matching preclusion number of a graph. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. NETWORKS, Vol. 66(3), 210–213 2015
