Using Interior-Point Methods for Fast Parallel Algorithms for Bipartite Matching and Related Problems

Abstract
In this paper we use interior-point methods for linear programming, developed in the contextof sequential computation, to obtain a parallel algorithm for the bipartite matching problem.Our algorithm finds a maximum cardinality matching in a bipartite graph with n nodes andm edges in O(pm log3n) time on a CRCW PRAM. Our results extend to the weighted bipartitematching problem and to the zero-one minimum-cost flow problem, yielding O(pm log2n log nC)algorithms, where C ? ...
