Complexity of optimal cartesian matching

Question: what is known about the algorithmic aspects of optimally matching a set $\mathcal{P} = \prod\limits_{i=1}^n \left(1,\,\cdots,\,k_i\right)$ of grid-points to a set of $\prod\limits_{i=1}^nk_ …

Enumerating the directed vertex-disjoint cycle covers of digraphs

A directed cycle-cover of a digraph $D$ is in the sense of this post equivalent to a perfect matching in the related undirected biadjacency graph $B$ in which the edges connect a vertex $u$ of $D$ in …

Detecting non-optimality in disjoint unions of perfect matchings

This is a follow-up question to Minimum-weight disjoint union of perfect matchings: let $G$ be a complete symmetric graph with $2n$ vertices, whose edges are mapped to their weights by $\omega()$ and …

Calculation of cardinality constrained minimum weight matchings

Given a complete weighted graph $G(V,E),\ |V|=2n$, calculating a minimum weight matching with $n-k$ edges can be reduced to calculating a perfect matching in $H(V+U,E+F),\ |U|=2k,\ F=(u\in U,v\in V),\ …

Edge-length constraints from greedy matching

The subject of this question are perfect matchings of a complete undirected graph $G(V,E), n:=\mathrm{card}(V)=2k$, without self-loops or parallel edges and $n=2k$ vertices. The objective is to determ …

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 …
