Graph matching is a generalization of the classic graph isomorphism problem. By using only their structures a graph-matching algorithm finds a map between the vertex sets of two similar graphs. This has applications in the de-anonymization of social and in ...
Starting with two models fifty years ago, the discrete marriage game [1] and the continuous assignment game [2], the study of stable matchings has evolved into a rich theory with applications in many areas. Most notably, it has lead to a number of truthful ...

The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...
In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding all common bases in two matroids. Our algorithm lists all common bases by using pivot operations in such a way that each basis appears exactly once. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(n(n^2+t)§) whe ...
We present an O(m^10/7) = O(m^1.43)-time algorithm for the maximum s-t flow and the minimum s-t cut problems in directed graphs with unit capacities. This is the first improvement over the sparse-graph case of the long-standing O(m min{m^1/2, n^2/3}) runni ...
We consider the problem of finding in a graph a set R of edges to be colored in red so that there are maximum matchings having some prescribed numbers of red edges. For regular bipartite graphs with n nodes on each side, we give sufficient conditions f ...
Two-sided matching markets play a prominent role in economic theory. A prime example of such a market is the sponsored search market where n advertisers compete for the assignment of one of k sponsored search results, also known as "slots", for certain key ...
We present a model for edge updates with restricted randomness in dynamic graph algorithms and a general technique for analyzing the expected running time of an update operation. This model is able to capture the average case in many applications, since (1 ...
