Tutte [9] has given necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite graph to have a perfect matching. Different proofs are given by Brualdi [1] and Gallai [2; 3]. The shortest proof of Tutte's theorem is due to Lovasz [5]. In another paper [10] Tutte extended his conditions for a perfect matching to locally finite graphs. In [4] Kaluza gave a condition on arbitrary graphs which is entirely different from Tutte's.
