Title
Improved Bounds for Bipartite Matching on Surfaces.
Abstract
We exhibit the following new upper bounds on the space complexity and the parallel complexity of the Bipartite Perfect Matching (BPM) problem for graphs of small genus: (1) BPM in planar graphs is in UL (improves upon the SPL bound from Datta et. al. [7]); (2) BPM in constant genus graphs is in NL (orthogonal to the SPL bound from Datta et. al. [8]); (3) BPM in poly-logarithmic genus graphs is in NC; (extends the NC bound for O(log n) genus graphs from Mahajan and Varadarajan [22], and Kulkarni et. al. [19]. For Part (1) we combine the flow technique of Miller and Naor [23] with the double counting technique of Reinhardt and Allender [27]. For Part (2) and (3) we extend [23] to higher genus surfaces in the spirit of Chambers, Erickson and Nayyeri [4].
