We present an on‐line distributed reconfiguration algorithm for finding a new maximum matching incrementally after some nodes have failed. Our algorithm is deadlock‐free and, withkfailures, maintains at leastM–kmatching pairs during the reconfiguration process, whereMis the size of the original maximum matching. The algorithm tolerates failures that occur during reconfiguration. The worst‐case reconfiguration time isO(kmin(|A|, |B|)) afterkfailures, whereAandBare the node sets, but simulations show that the average‐case reconfiguration time is much better. The algorithm is also simple enough to be implemented in hardware. ©1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
