  • Abstract
    The maximum weight matching problem (MWM) is to find a maximum weight matching of a given graph. Although an O(|V|3) or O(|V|4) time algorithm for finding an optimum solution to MWM is known, it takes an extremely long computation time when the size of a graph becomes large. This paper proposes two approximation algorithms Avis+ and LAM+ for MWM, and their usefulness is shown through experimental results: they run fast and produce sharp approximate solutions.
