contents A connected nontrivial graph $G$ is {\it matching covered} if every edge of $G$ is contained in some perfect matching of $G$. A matching covered graph $G$ is {\it minimal} if $G-e$ is not matching covered for each edge $e$ of $G$. A graph is said to be {\it factor-critical} if $G-v$ has a perfect matching for every $v\in V(G)$. A factor-critical graph $G$ is said to be {\it minimal factor-critical} if $G-e$ is not factor-critical graph for each edge $e\in E(G)$. In this paper, by employing ear decomposition and edge-exchange techniques, the greatest spectral radii of minimal matching covered bipartite graphs and minimal factor-critical graphs are determined, and the corresponding extremal graphs are characterized.

A connected nontrivial graph $G$ is {\it matching covered} if every edge of $G$ is contained in some perfect matching of $G$. A matching covered graph $G$ is {\it minimal} if $G-e$ is not matching covered for each edge $e$ of $G$. A graph is said to be {\it factor-critical} if $G-v$ has a perfect matching for every $v\in V(G)$. A factor-critical graph $G$ is said to be {\it minimal factor-critical} if $G-e$ is not factor-critical graph for each edge $e\in E(G)$. In this paper, by employing ear decomposition and edge-exchange techniques, the greatest spectral radii of minimal matching covered bipartite graphs and minimal factor-critical graphs are determined, and the corresponding extremal graphs are characterized.
