Suppose that G is a simple graph. We prove that if G contains a small number of cycles of even length then the matching polynomial of G can be expressed in terms of the characteristic polynomials of the skew adjacency matrix A ( G e ) of an arbitrary orientation G e of G and the minors of A ( G e ). In addition to a formula previously discovered by Godsil and Gutman, we obtain a different formula for the matching polynomial of a general graph. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
