Algorithmic Problem: Matchings in graphs.
Prerequisites: The graph [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math] is bipartite.
Type of algorithm: loop
Auxillary data:
Abstract view
Invariant: Before and after each iteration, [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math] is a matching.
Variant: [math]\displaystyle{ |M| }[/math] increases by [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math].
Break condition: There is no more augmenting alternating path.
Induction basis
Abstract view: [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math] is initialized to be some matching, for example, [math]\displaystyle{ M:=\empty }[/math].
Implementation: Obvious.
Proof: Nothing to show.
Induction step
Abstract view: If there is an augmenting alternating path, use it to increase [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math]; otherwise, terminate the algorithm and return [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math].
Implementation:
- Call the algorithm Find augmenting alternating path.
- If this call fails, terminate the algorithm and return [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math].
- Otherwise, let [math]\displaystyle{ E' }[/math] denote the set of all edges on the path delivered by that call.
- Let [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math] be the symmetric difference of [math]\displaystyle{ M }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ ??? }[/math]
Correctness:
Complexity
Statement:
Proof:
