Maximum matching in bipartite and non-bipartite graphs
The process stop either when an augmenting path or a blossom are found, or when there are no more unlabeled and unmatched edges or unexplored edges touching at least one EVEN vertex. Lemma 3.1 If there is an augmenting path with respect to M, then the above process nds an augmenting path or a blossom. The running time is O(m).

Matchings in Graphs
augmenting path in G, augment the matching and start afresh. Otherwise, by Claim 3, the path yields a blossom, and we shrink it (and also shrink the current matching with respect to it) and continue. If no such directed paths are found, report the current matching. To find directed paths efficiently, the algorithm maintains a forest of scanned ...
