Maximum matching in a convex bipartite graph
Fred Glover · Naval Research Logistics Quarterly · 1967
Abstract A special matching problem arising in industry is shown to be solvable by an algorithm of the form: match objects a i and b j if they satisfy a local optirnality criterion based on a ranking of currently unmatched objects. When no a i and b i remain that can be matched, the largest number of acceptable matches has been found.
