English Given an undirected graph G=(V,E) with matching number \nu(G), we define d- blockers as subsets of edges B such that \nu(G=(V,E\B))\leq \nu(G)-d. We define d- transversals T as subsets of edges such that every maximum matching M has |M\cap T|\geq d. We explore connections between d-blockers and d-transversals. Special classes of graphs are examined which include complete graphs, regular bipartite graphs, chains and cycles and we construct minimum d-transversals and d-blockers in these special graphs. We also study the complexity status of finding minimum transversals and blockers in arbitrary graphs.
