Overview:
We present a new parallel algorithm for finding a maximum (cardinality) matching in a planar bipartite graph G. Our algorithm is processor-time product efficient if the size l of a maximum matching of G is large. It runs in time O((n/2-l + (the square root of n))log (superscript 7)n) on a CRCW PRAM with O(n(superscript 1.5)log (superscript 3)n) processors.
