Abstract
Let be the standard Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi-Gilbert random graph and let be the random bipartite graph on vertices, where each appears as an edge independently with probability . For a graph , suppose that each edge is given an independent uniform exponential rate one cost. Let denote the random variable equal to the length of the minimum cost perfect matching, assuming that contains at least one. We show that w.h.p. if then w.h.p. . This generalises the well-known result for the case . We also show that w.h.p. along with concentration results for both types of random graph.
