Graph partitioning has several important applications in Computer Science, including VLSI circuit layout, image processing, solving sparse linear systems, computing fill-reducing orderings for sparse matrices, and distributing workloads for parallel computation. In this paper we have determined the induced matching partition number for certain classes of bipartite graphs, sierpinski graphs, sierpinski gaskets, honeycomb tori and honeycomb networks. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
