Abstract
Given a simple bipartite graph G=(X,Y, E). M {Mathematical expression}E is called a 2-1 matching of G if: 1) ∀x εX, either two edges or none in M is incident to x and 2) ∀y εY, at most one edge in M is incident to y. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm for finding a maximum 2-1 matching in a given bipartite graph. We also formulate and prove a duality theorem for 2-1 matching. © 1987 Science Press, Beijing, China and Allerton Press, Inc. New York, U.S.A.
