The matching problem for bipartite graphs with polynomially bounded permanents is in NC

TL;DR: An NC3 algorithm for the problem of constructing all perfect matchings in a graph G with a permanent bounded by O(nk) is designed, which entails also among other things an efficient NC3-algorithm for computing small (polynomially bounded) arithmetic permanents, and a sublinear parallel time algorithm for enumerating all the perfect matching in graphs with permanents up to 2nε.

Approximating the permanent of graphs with large factors

TL;DR: The simple algorithm is described, which is an approximation algorithm for the permanent that is a natural simplification of the algorithm suggested by Broder (1986) and analyzed by Jerrum and Sinclair (1988a, b).

On the Parallel Complexity of Hamiltonian Cycle and Matching Problem on Dense Graphs

TL;DR: It is proved that finding an NC algorithm for perfect matching in slightly less dense graphs (minimum degree is at least (12 ? ?)|V|) is as hard as the same problem for all graphs, and interestingly the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle becomes NP-complete.

Some perfect matchings and perfect half-integral matchings in NC ∗

TL;DR: It is shown that for any class of bipartite graphs which is closed under edge deletion and where the number of perfect matchings can be counted in NC, there is a deterministic NC algorithm for finding a perfect matching.

A taxonomy of problems with fast parallel algorithms

TL;DR: An attempt is made to identify important subclasses of NC and give interesting examples in each subclass, and a new problem complete for deterministic polynomial time is given, namely, finding the lexicographically first maximal clique in a graph.
