An algorithm is presented which produces the minimum cost bipartite matching between two sets of M points each, where the cost of matching two points is proportional to the minimum distance by which a particle could reach one point from the…
A maximum priority matching is a matching in an undirected graph that maximizes a priority score defined with respect to given vertex priorities. An earlier paper showed how to find maximum priority matchings in unweighted graphs. This…

Maximum bipartite matching is a fundamental algorithmic problem which can be solved in polynomial time. We consider a natural variant in which there is a separation constraint: the vertices on one side lie on a path or a grid, and two…
