We introduce the two-stage stochastic maximum-weight matching problem and demonstrate that this problem is NP-complete. We give a factor 1 2 approximation algorithm and prove its ...
Abstract. A black box method was recently given that solves the problem of online approximate matching for a class of problems whose distance functions can be classified as being ...
The choice of the scheduling algorithm is a major design criteria of a switch. Whereas it is known that maximum weight matching algorithms guarantee the stability of an input queu...
Abstract. We present a method to speed up approximate string matching by mapping the factual alphabet to a smaller alphabet. We apply the alphabet reduction scheme to a tuned versi...
This work discusses the issue of approximation in point set matching problems. In general, one may have two classes of approximations when tackling a matching problem: a representa...
