Min weight matching in Euclidean 2d space

167 Views Asked by At

Say you have a graph consisting of $k$ red nodes and $k$ blue nodes in Euclidean $2$-d space. There is an edge between every red-blue pair, and edge weights are distances. Our goal is to find the min-weight matching.

The Hungarian algorithm solves the more general case where the edge weights are arbitrary. Is there a more efficient approach that takes advantage of the Euclidean aspect?
