Theoretical Results:
A max vertex-weight matching has max cardinality.A lexicographically optimal matching has max weight. (Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani. ‘87)
Algorithm VWM computes a lexicographically optimal matching.
And therefore, of max weight and max cardinality.

Future Work:
We have extended the vertex weighted algorithms to bipartite graphs with weights on both the sets of vertices and nonbipartite graphs. Experimentation is required.Use vertex weighted matching algorithms to solve the column-space basis problem.Compute 1x1 and 2x2 pivots for symmetric indefinite matrices using max weight matchings in nonbipartite graphs.
