Abstract

We present a compact linear program for the problem of testing whether

a given perfect matching of a graph is of maximal weight with respect
to given edge weights. More precisely, we show that the cone defined
by the constraints of the perfect matching polytope which are active at
a given perfect matching, can be obtained as the projection of a
polyhedron which can be described with a polynomial number of
variables and inequalities. This result provides a simple reduction
of the maximum weight perfect matching problem to compact linear
programming.
