WebAlternating Paths • Given a matching M, an M-alternating path is a path that alternates between the edges in M and the edges not in M. – An M-alternating path P that begins … Webbe isolated vertices, even cycles alternating between M and M’, or paths alternating between M and M’ Proof: Each vertex in G’ can have at max degree 2. Therefore, G’ can only be made of paths and cycles. Also, all cycles in G’ must alternate between M and M’, so they must all be of even length.

Web5.Remove the vertices of the M-alternating tree rooted at rand go back to step 1 to start a new M-alternating tree. This algorithm runs until every vertex remaining in Xis the root of an M-alternating tree. Lemma 7 If the algorithm nds is a collection of maximal M-alternating trees such that (i)The set of roots of the trees is X. WebIf v2Even(G;M), let Pbe an even length M-alternating path from some x2Xto v. Then, M E(P) is another maximum matching in which vis exposed; hence, v2D(G). Conversely, if v2D(G) there is a maximum matching M v that misses v. Then M M v gives an even length X-vM-alternating path implying that v2Even(G;M). screen capture save to folder

WebLet M be a matching in a graph G. An M-alternating path or M-alternating cycle in G is a path or cycle where edges are alternately in M and E\M. An M-alternating path in which neither its origin nor its terminus is covered by M is an M-augmenting path. Note. Figure 16.2 shows some M-alternating paths, including an M-augmented path (uppser left). WebDe nition 2.1 (Alternating paths and cycles) Let G = (V;E) be a graph and let M be a matching in M. A path P is said to be an alternating path with respect to Mif and only if among every two consecutive edges along the path, exactly one belongs to M. An alternating cycle C is de ned similarly. Some alternating paths and an alternating … WebEach path contains the same number of edges in M’ as in Mto within one. A path that contains one more edge of M’ than Mis an augmenting path for M. In M’ ⊕ Mthere are exactly kmore edges in M’ than edges in M. Thus the subgraphinduced by the edges in M’ ⊕ Mcontains kvertex-disjoint augmenting paths for M(and no augmenting paths ... screen capture screenshot
