A Note on Rounding Matchings in General Graphs

Aditi Dudeja

Abstract: In this note, we revisit the rounding algorithm of Wajc. Wajc gave a fully-adaptive randomized algorithm that rounds a dynamic fractional matching in an unweighted bipartite graph to an integral matching of nearly the same value in $O(\text{poly}(\log n,\frac{1}{\varepsilon}))$ update time. We give show that the guarantees of this algorithm hold for general graphs as well. Additionally, we show useful properties of this subroutine which have applications in rounding weighted fractional matchings.
