چکیده
Let G = (A ∪ P , E) be a bipartite graph where A denotes a set of agents, P denotes a set of posts and ranks on the edges denote preferences of the agents over posts. A matching M in G is rank-maximal if it matches the maximum number of applicants to their top-rank post, subject to this, the maximum number of applicants to their second rank

The number of maximal matchings in polyphenylene chains
A matching is maximal if no other matching contains it as a proper subset. Maximal matchings model phenomena across many disciplines, including applications within chemistry. In this paper, we study maximal matchings in an important class of chemical compounds: polyphenylenes. In particular, we determine the extremal polyphenylene chains in regards to the number of maximal matchings. We also de...
متن کاملGlobal Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations
Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2, \ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$. The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$, where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$ otherwise, for each $i\in\{1,\ldots , k\}$. We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$ if $...
متن کاملEfficient Algorithms for Weighted Rank-Maximal Matchings and Related Problems
We consider the problem of designing efficient algorithms for computing certain matchings in a bipartite graph G = (A ∪ P, E), with a partition of the edge set as E = E1 ∪̇ E2 . . . ∪̇ Er. A matching is a set of (a, p) pairs, a ∈ A, p ∈ P such that each a and each p appears in at most one pair. We first consider the popular matching problem; an O(m √ n) algorithm to solve the popular matching pro...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Enumerating All Perfect, Maximum and Maximal Matchings in Bipartite Graphs
For a bipartite graph G = (V, E), (1) perfect, (2) maximum and (3) maximal matchings are matchings (1) such that all vertices are incident to some matching edges, (2) whose cardinalities are maximum among all matchings, (3) which are contained in no other matching. In this paper, we present three algorithms for enumerating these three types of matchings. Their time complexities are O(|V |) per ...
متن کاملMaximal Matching and Path Matching Counting in Polynomial Time for Graphs of Bounded Clique Width
In this paper, we provide polynomial-time algorithms for different extensions of the matching counting problem, namely maximal matchings, path matchings (linear forest) and paths, on graph classes of bounded clique-width. For maximal matchings, we introduce matchingcover pairs to efficiently handle maximality in the local structure, and develop a polynomial time algorithm. For path matchings, w...
