Algorithm to count the number of perfect matchings in non planar graph
I need to count the number of perfect matchings of a certain family of graphs. This family of graph is non planar and a type of snark. For the initial cases, it seems that this number is growing ...

Algorithm to find all (up to isomorphism) perfect matchings of quartic plane graphs
I need to find all (up to isomorphism) perfect matchings of some quartic plane graphs. I haven't found any specific algorithm to give me all the perfect matchings. Does anybody know about such an ...

Connecting $2n$ points in $\mathbb R^2$ with line segments s.t. each point belongs to exactly one line segment
I'm trying to do a certain simulation related to the toric code and I'm looking for an algorithm that connects $2n$ points ($n \in \mathbb Z_+$) in $\mathbb R^2$ with line segments with the following ...

Finding minimum weight perfect matchings in sparse bipartite graphs
Question:
What can be recommended for finding optimal perfect matchings in large bipartite graphs with small vertex degree if the edge-weights are positive real values?
I am looking for ...

Is it possible to improve the weight of perfect bipartite matchings faster than with Bellman-Ford?
If $G\left(A\cup B,\ E=\lbrace\lbrace a, b\rbrace\,|\, a\in A,\, b\in B\rbrace\right)$ is a weighted bipartite graph and $M_0$ an initial perfect matching, then the optimality of $M_0$ can be verified ...

Infection on a complete graph
Suppose we have a complete graph on $2n$ vertices with one "infected" vertex.
At each time step, we form a matching of the vertices. Then the vertices paired with infected vertices will also ...

Test Instances for Perfect Matchings in Graphs
Are there any graphs with a known set of perfect matchings and other predefined properties, such as vertex connectivity, which can be used for testing the implementation of matching algorithms?

The cost function in the Weighted Bipartite Matching Problem (a.k.a the Assignment Problem)
In the definition of this problem, the weight/cost function generally takes value in $\mathbb{Z}$ (or sometimes $\mathbb{Q}$).
This is what I observed from some books (e.g. "Combinatorial ...

Spanning subgraphs defined via $K_4$ matchings
I have by accident found an interesting kind of spanner of complete symmetric graphs $G(V,E)$ with weighted edges.
What I actually had planned was to implement an algorithm for calculating certain non-...
