A Push-Relabel Based Additive Approximation for Optimal Transport

Nathaniel Lahn, Sharath Raghvendra, Kaiyi Zhang

Optimal Transport is a popular distance metric for measuring similarity between distributions. Exact algorithms for computing Optimal Transport can be slow, which has motivated the…

An Time -Approximation Algorithm for RMS Matching in a Plane

Nathaniel Lahn, Sharath Raghvendra

The 2-Wasserstein distance (or RMS distance) is a useful measure of similarity between probability distributions that has exciting applications in machine learning. For discrete di…

A Weighted Approach to the Maximum Cardinality Bipartite Matching Problem with Applications in Geometric Settings

Nathaniel Lahn, Sharath Raghvendra

We present a weighted approach to compute a maximum cardinality matching in an arbitrary bipartite graph. Our main result is a new algorithm that takes as input a weighted bipartit…

A Faster Algorithm for Minimum-Cost Bipartite Matching in Minor-Free Graphs

Nathaniel Lahn, Sharath Raghvendra

We give an -time algorithm to compute a minimum-cost maximum cardinality matching (optimal matching) in -minor free graphs with and inte…
