Bipartite Graph; Maximum Cardinality Matching; Maximum and Minimum; Donor-Recipient Matching

A matching of set of pairs or parameters between donor to recipient is considered as important for liver transplantation. By using the maximum and minimum matching able to find out the exact or relevant parameters between the donors to recipient matching. Divide the set of parameters as donor sets and recipient sets using bipartite graph. Donor to Recipient Hopcroft Karp matching used for the final relevant pair of matching between the donors to recipient. Each set of parameters is assign as nodes for the donor to recipient set of pairs. Bipartite graph visualization shows the important donor to recipient matching.
