Strongly maximal matchings in infinite weighted graphs

Combinatorics 2009-11-23 v1

Abstract

Given an assignment of weights w to the edges of a graph G, a matching M in G is called strongly w-maximal if for any matching N the sum of weights of the edges in N\M is at most the sum of weights of the edges in M\N. We prove that if w assumes only finitely many values all of which are rational then G has a strongly w-maximal matching.
