  • Abstract
    We present a self-stabilizing algorithm for finding a generalized maximal matching (b-matching) in an arbitrary distributed network. We show that the algorithm converges in O(m) moves under an unfair central demon independent of the b-values at different nodes. The algorithm is capable of working with multiple types of demons (schedulers) as is the most recent algorithm in [1, 2].
