We study the approximate maximum weight matching (MWM) problem in a fully dynamic graph subject to edge insertions and deletions. We design meta-algorithms that reduce the problem to the unweighted approximate maximum cardinality matching…

Consider a random graph model where each possible edge $e$ is present independently with some probability $p_e$. Given these probabilities, we want to build a large/heavy matching in the randomly generated graph. However, the only way we…

We present a simple semi-streaming algorithm for $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation of bipartite matching in $O(\log{\!(n)}/\epsilon)$ passes. This matches the performance of state-of-the-art "$\epsilon$-efficient" algorithms -- the ones with…

We show that the perfect matching problem in general graphs is in Quasi-NC. That is, we give a deterministic parallel algorithm which runs in $O(\log^3 n)$ time on $n^{O(\log^2 n)}$ processors. The result is obtained by a derandomization of…

We consider the problem of maintaining an approximate maximum integral matching in a dynamic graph $G$, while the adversary makes changes to the edges of the graph. The goal is to maintain a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching for…
