Abstract

We consider computing a maximum non-crossing matching in convex bipartite graphs. For a convex bipartite graph of n vertices and m edges, we present an O (n logn ) time algorithm for finding a maximum non-crossing matching in the graph. The previous best algorithm for this problem takes O (m +n logn ) time. Since m =Θ(n 2) in the worst case, our result improves the previous solution for large m .
