We introduce a fully online model of maximum cardinality matching in which all vertices arrive online. On the arrival of a vertex, its incident edges to previously-arrived vertices are revealed. Each vertex has a deadline that is after all…

We study the greedy-based online algorithm for edge-weighted matching with (one-sided) vertex arrivals in bipartite graphs, and edge arrivals in general graphs. This algorithm was first studied more than a decade ago by Korula and P\'al for…
Online bipartite matching with edge arrivals remained a major open question for a long time until a recent negative result by [Gamlath et al. FOCS 2019], who showed that no online policy is better than the straightforward greedy algorithm,…
