Matchings, Perfect Matchings, Maximum Matchings, and More! | Independent Edge Sets, Graph Theory

What are matchings, perfect matchings, complete matchings, maximal matchings, maximum matchings, and independent edge sets in graph theory? We'll be answering that great number of questions in today's graph theory video lesson!
A matching in a graph is a set of edges with no common end-vertices.

Recall that in Dijkstra’s directed ring, each processor pi can only read from pi−1 mod n’s shared variables and each processor can use shared variables of constant size. Design a deterministic self-stabilizing matching algorithm that always provides an optimal solution

    Yes, there is a lot to enjoy in the world! I began with saxophone when I was in 6th grade or so, and then piano, and a bunch of other stuff, I only started learning guitar in college. Mostly self taught in everything aside from saxophone and some piano lessons. Started rapping 2013 or 14. Do you play music?

    Does matching ( maximal, maximum , perfect) exist for graphs with self loops? That is if we consider the degree of the loop as 1 ?

    Thanks for watching and the question! I'd think a loop would have no impact whatsoever on matchings, since it couldn't possibly be included in one, as matchings should induce bipartite subgraphs which a loop would prevent. That said, I've never looked into this topic specifically, a search may yield results that have found it useful to treat this subject differently.

    If you think of matchings in terms of bijections does it mean that the bijection f has to satisfy {v,f(v)} is an edge for every v in vertex set?

    Almost, but not quite, there is a little bit of extra detail in there that you may be thinking of but just not writing. Let's say we have a graph G = (V, E) and a matching described by a bijection f. Firstly, the bijection, f, would have to be from some subset of V, say X, to some other subset of V, say Y. So it won't be the case that { v, f(v) } is an edge for every vertex v of V, but rather { v, f(v) } will be an edge for every vertex v of X, since that is the domain of the bijection. If f represents a complete matching, then every vertex of V will either be an element of X or an element of Y (so X union Y equals V). In other words, every vertex v of V will either be in X, or there will be a vertex u in X so that f(u) = v. Great question! Does that explanation help?

    Wrath of Math I think so. So in the case of a bipartite graph G=(U,V,E). Then G has a complete matching from U to V if there exists a bijective function f:U->V such that {u,f(u)} belongs to E for every u in U?

    Thanks for watching and I am not sure what you mean. We can make a matching as small as we want, since it is just a set of edges that are not adjacent to each other. We could take any one edge from a graph to be a "minimal" matching, since there would be no matching that is a proper subset of it.

    Thanks for watching and I am not sure what you mean. A matching is a set of edges which share no end vertices. So if we consider the set containing only the edge bd, as in the set { bd }, that is technically a matching because it doesn't contain any pair of edges that share an end vertex. Does that help?
