This PR adds an algorithm for solving the Maximum Weighted Matching in Trees problem. The tree is represented as an undirected graph with weighted edges. The goal is to find a matching in the tree such that no two edges in the matching share a common vertex, while maximizing the sum of the edge weights.
Problem Description:
Given an undirected tree G = (V, E) with edge weights γ: E → N and a root r ∈ V, the algorithm computes a maximum weight matching M ⊆ E where no two edges share a common vertex. The sum of the weights of the edges in the matching, ∑ e∈M γ(e), should be maximized.
The solution utilizes dynamic programming to efficiently compute the optimal matching in the tree while ensuring that no vertices are repeated in the matching.
For more details on matching theory, refer to the Matching (graph theory) page.
