A 1-matching blossom-type algorithm for edge covering problems

We discuss an efficient primal‐dual algorithm for finding a minimum cost edge cover in an undirected network G with n nodes and m edges, which is based on the blossom algorithm for 1‐matching problems. We establish that its worst case computational complexity is O(n3), the same as that for blossom o...

Zusammenfassung:We discuss an efficient primal‐dual algorithm for finding a minimum cost edge cover in an undirected network G with n nodes and m edges, which is based on the blossom algorithm for 1‐matching problems. We establish that its worst case computational complexity is O(n3), the same as that for blossom or primal algorithms for 1‐matching problems.
