Abstract

A matching M is called flexible if there exists an alternating cycle with respect to M. Given a graph G=(V,E) and S⊆V, a flexible matching M⊆E is sought which covers a maximum number of vertices belonging to S. It is proved that the existence of such a matching is decidable in time, and a concrete flexible maximum S-matching can also be found in the same amount of time.
