Formalizing Randomized Matching AlgorithmsArticle

Authors: Dai Tri Man Le ; Stephen A. Cook

    Using Je\v{r}ábek 's framework for probabilistic reasoning, we formalize the correctness of two fundamental RNC^2 algorithms for bipartite perfect matching within the theory VPV for polytime reasoning. The first algorithm is for testing if a bipartite graph has a perfect matching, and is based on the Schwartz-Zippel Lemma for polynomial identity testing applied to the Edmonds polynomial of the graph. The second algorithm, due to Mulmuley, Vazirani and Vazirani, is for finding a perfect matching, where the key ingredient of this algorithm is the Isolating Lemma.
