Abstract

We consider the problem of designing efficient algorithms for computing certain matchings in a bipartite graph , with a partition of the edge set as . A matching is a set of (a, p) pairs, such that each a and each p appears in at most one pair. We first consider the popular matching problem; an algorithm to solve the popular matching problem was given in [3], where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in the graph. Here we present an O(nω) randomized algorithm for this problem, where ω< 2.376 is the exponent of matrix multiplication. We next consider the rank-maximal matching problem; an algorithm was given in [7] for this problem. Here we give an O(Cnω) randomized algorithm, where C is the largest rank of an edge used in such a matching. We also consider a generalization of this problem, called the weighted rank-maximal matching problem, where vertices in have positive weights.
