Abstract
Interior-point methods for linear programming, developed in the context of sequential computation, are used to obtain a parallel algorithm for the bipartite matching problem. The algorithm runs in O *(√m ) time. The results extend to the weighted bipartite matching problem and to the zero-one minimum-cost flow problem, yielding O *(√m log C ) algorithms. This improves previous bounds on these problems and illustrates the importance of interior-point methods in parallel algorithm design
