β¦ Synopsis
A search based algorithm has been introduced by us [1] to generate all perfect matchings on a graph. This paper presents a modified search that employs novel heuristics for rapid generation. This is done by an intelligent selection of edges for generating the branch nodes of the associated semantic tree. A priori time complexity of the algorithm is nonlinear with respect to output size even after the implementation of these heuristics, but it ensures generation of the optimal search tree in O(c * e log v) time. This drastically reduces the time requirements, without compromising O(e) space complexity of the algorithm.

This survey paper reviews results on heuristics for two weighted matching problems: matchings where the vertices are points in the plane and weights are Euclidean distances, and the assignment problem. Several heuristics are described in detail-and results are given for worst-case ratio bounds, abso

A Lagrangian based heuristic is proposed for many-to-many assignment problems taking into account capacity limits for task and agents. A modified Lagrangian bound studied earlier by the authors is presented and a greedy heuristic is then applied to get a feasible Lagrangian-based solution. The latte
