Question 1

A matching in a bipartite graph must ensure that:

No edges share a vertex.
All vertices are included in the matching.
Each vertex can handle multiple jobs.

💡 Hint: Think about the core definition of matching.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a bipartite graph with 5 employees and 3 tasks. If two employees can do all tasks but one, and the rest of employees can do none, explain how a complete matching might work.

💡 Hint: Map each employee’s preferences to visualize the match.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a bipartite graph that illustrates the failure of Hall’s condition. What implications does this have for completing a matching?

💡 Hint: Identify subsets and neighbors for rigorous analysis.
