pgr_maxCardinalityMatch¶
pgr_maxCardinalityMatch
— Calculates a maximum cardinality matching in a
graph.
Availability
Version 3.3.3
directed
optional parameter ignored and removed from the documentation as the algorithm works only on undirected graphs
Version 3.0.0
Official function
Version 2.5.0
Renamed from
pgr_maximumCardinalityMatching
Proposed function
Version 2.3.0
New Experimental function
Description¶
The main characteristics are:
Works for undirected graphs.
A matching or independent edge set in a graph is a set of edges without common vertices.
A maximum matching is a matching that contains the largest possible number of edges.
There may be many maximum matchings.
Calculates one possible maximum cardinality matching in a graph.
Running time: \(O( E*V * \alpha(E,V))\)
\(\alpha(E,V)\) is the inverse of the Ackermann function.
Signatures¶
- Example:
Using all edges.
SELECT * FROM pgr_maxCardinalityMatch(
'SELECT id, source, target, cost AS going, reverse_cost AS coming
FROM edges');
seq | edge | source | target
-----+------+--------+--------
1 | 6 | 1 | 3
2 | 17 | 2 | 4
3 | 1 | 5 | 6
4 | 14 | 8 | 9
