We study the maximum matching problem in fully dynamic graphs: a graph is undergoing both edge insertions and deletions, and the goal is to efficiently maintain a large matching after each edge update. This problem has received considerable attention in recent years. The known algorithms naturally exhibit a trade-off between the quality of the matching maintained (i.e., the approximation ratio) and the time needed per update. While several interesting results have been obtained, the optimal…

The main result is a data structure that maintains a (1+ϵ) approximation of maximum matching under edge insertions/deletions in worst case Õ(√mϵ-2) time per update, which improves the 3/2 approximation given by Neiman and Solomon [20] which runs in similar time.

The question in the affirmative is resolved, by presenting a randomized algorithm for maintaining maximal matching in general graphs with constant amortized update time and the optimal runtime bound O(t) of the algorithm holds both in expectation and with high probability.
Improved Analysis of EDCS via Gallai-Edmonds Decomposition
This note revisits the edge-degree constrained subgraph (EDCS) and presents an improved bound for its key property in general graphs and a new proof of the approximation guarantee of EDCS that builds on the graph's Gallai-Edmonds decomposition, avoiding the probabilistic method of the previous proofs.

This is the first polylog update time for maximal matching that implies an exponential improvement from the previous results and can maintain a factor two approximate maximum matching in $O(\log n )$ expected amortized time per update as a direct corollary of the maximal matching scheme.

This work presents the first deterministic algorithm which outperforms the folklore algorithm in terms of both approximation ratio and worst-case update time, and shows how to use dynamic bipartite matching algorithms as black-box subroutines for dynamic matching in general graphs without incurring the natural 2 factor in the approximation ratio which such approaches naturally incur.
