The maximum b-matchings, weighted and unweighted, have also beenemployed in the design of approximation algorithms for the maximum travelingsalesman problem, with its most recent ratio of 0.8 achieved by Dudyez et al.(2015), and many other problems. In thistalk, we will present another use of the maximum b-matchings in approximatingthe Bandpass problem, which is formulated out of the optical communicationnetworks. To the end, we show that amaximum weight matching, a maximum weight 2-matching, and a maximum weight4-matching can be used together to design a 13/24-approximation algorithm forthe Bandpass problem.欢迎广大师生参加！管理学院2017年6月14日
