It differs from Edmonds’ “blossom” algorithm in that a perfect matching is at hand throughout the algorithm, and a feasible solution to the dual problem is obtained only at termination. In many other respects, including its efficiency, it is similar to the blossom algorithm. Some advantages of this “primal” algorithm for certain post-optimality problems are described. The algorithm is used to prove that, if the weights are integers, then the dual problem has an optimal solution which is integer-valued. Finally, some graph-theoretic results on perfect matchings are derived.
