Motivated by previous work, we consider COMP-SUB(Π) when the property Π=PM specifies that the edge cut of the decomposition is a perfect matching. We prove that COMP-SUB(PM) is GI-hard when the graph G is C_5-free or G is {C_k ≥ 7, C̄_k ≥ 7}-free. On the other hand, we show that COMP-SUB(PM) is polynomial-time solvable on hole-free graphs and on P5-free graphs. Furthermore, we present characterizations of COMP-SUB(PM) on chordal, distance-hereditary, and extended P_4-laden graphs.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Založba Univerze na Primorskem</dc:publisher><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2025-10-21 22:25:20</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>21992</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 51</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>eISSN: 1855-3974</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: https://doi.org/10.26493/1855-3974.3015.f4a</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
