In this paper we further investigate the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a regular bipartite graph. The first non-trivial algorithm, with running time $O(mn)$, dates back to K\"{o}nig's work in 1916 (here $m=nd$ is the…

We consider the problem of maintaining a proper $(\Delta + 1)$-vertex coloring in a graph on $n$-vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$ undergoing edge insertions and deletions. We give a randomized algorithm with amortized update time…

In this paper we study the problem of fully dynamic maximal matching with lookahead. In a fully dynamic $n$-vertex graph setting, we have to handle updates (insertions and removals of edges), and answer queries regarding the current graph,…
