To kick things off, Suhas gave the first meeting of the spring semester on maximum matchings.

We’ll go over the basics of matchings and look at two algorithms for maximum matchings: Hopcroft-Karp for bipartite graphs and Edmonds’ famous Blossom algorithm for general graphs. If time permits, we may also look at an algorithm for maximum-weight perfect matchings over bipartite graphs as well.

Previous: Quantum Computing

Today Suhas held a lecture (with a few problems on the side) on quantum computing.
