Abstract

We present the first polynomial self-stabilizing algorithm for finding a 1-maximal matching in a general graph. The previous best known algorithm has been presented by Manne et al. [20]and we show in this paper it has a sub-exponential time complexity under the distributed adversarial daemon. Our new algorithm is an adaptation of the Manne et al. algorithm and works under the same daemon, but with a complexity in O(m×n2) moves, with n is the number of nodes and m is the number of edges. This is the first self-stabilizing algorithm that solve this problem with a polynomial complexity. Moreover, our algorithm only needs one more boolean variable than the previous one.
