Class MaximumWeightBipartiteMatching<V,E>

java.lang.Object

org.jgrapht.alg.matching.MaximumWeightBipartiteMatching<V,E>

Type Parameters:

V - the graph vertex type

E - the graph edge type

All Implemented Interfaces:

MatchingAlgorithm<V,E>

public class MaximumWeightBipartiteMatching<V,E>
extends Object
implements MatchingAlgorithm<V,E>

Maximum weight matching in bipartite graphs.

Running time is $O(n(m+n \log n))$ where n is the number of vertices and m the number of edges of the input graph. Uses exact arithmetic and produces a certificate of optimality in the form of a tight vertex potential function.

This is the algorithm and implementation described in the LEDA book. See the LEDA Platform of Combinatorial and Geometric Computing, Cambridge University Press, 1999.

Constructor Detail

MaximumWeightBipartiteMatching

public MaximumWeightBipartiteMatching(Graph<V,E> graph,
                                      Set<V> partition1,
                                      Set<V> partition2)

Constructor.

Parameters:

graph - the input graph

partition1 - the first partition of the vertex set

partition2 - the second partition of the vertex set

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the graph is not undirected

Method Detail

getMatching

public MatchingAlgorithm.Matching<V,E> getMatching()

Compute a matching for a given graph.

Specified by:

getMatching in interface MatchingAlgorithm<V,E>

Returns:

a matching

getPotentials

public Map<V,BigDecimal> getPotentials()

Get the vertex potentials.

This is a tight non-negative potential function which proves the optimality of the maximum weight matching. See any standard textbook about linear programming duality.

Returns:

the vertex potentials

getMatchingWeight

public BigDecimal getMatchingWeight()

Get the weight of the matching.

Returns:

the weight of the matching
