A Simple (1-ϵ)-Approximation Semi-Streaming Algorithm for Maximum (Weighted) Matching
arxiv(2023)
摘要
We present a simple semi-streaming algorithm for (1-ϵ)-approximation
of bipartite matching in O(log(n)/ϵ) passes. This matches the
performance of state-of-the-art "ϵ-efficient" algorithms – the ones
with much better dependence on ϵ albeit with some mild dependence on
n – while being considerably simpler.
The algorithm relies on a direct application of the multiplicative weight
update method with a self-contained primal-dual analysis that can be of
independent interest. To show case this, we use the same ideas, alongside
standard tools from matching theory, to present an equally simple
semi-streaming algorithm for (1-ϵ)-approximation of weighted matchings
in general (not necessarily bipartite) graphs, again in
O(log(n)/ϵ) passes.
