A Simple Analysis of Ranking in General Graphs

Abstract

We provide a simple combinatorial analysis of the Ranking algorithm, originally introduced in the seminal work by Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani [KVV90], demonstrating that it achieves a (1/2 + c)-approximate matching for general graphs for c ≥ 0.005.
