Abstract

We consider bichromatic point sets with n red and n blue points and study straight-line bichromatic perfect matchings on them. We show that every such point set in convex position admits a matching with at least 3n2/8 - n/2 + c crossings, for some -1/2 ≤ c ≤ 1/8. This bound is tight since for any k > 3n2/8 − n/2 + 1/8 there exist bichromatic point sets that do not admit any perfect matching with k crossings.bound is tight since for any k>3n2/n/2+1/8 there exist bichromatic point sets that do not admit any perfect matching with k crossings.bound is tight since for any k>3n2/n/2+1/8 there exist bichromatic point sets that do not admit any perfect matching with k crossings.≤bound is tight since for any k>3n2/n/2+1/8 there exist bichromatic point sets that do not admit any perfect matching with k crossings.bound is tight since for any k>3n2/n/2+1/8 there exist bichromatic point sets that do not admit any perfect matching with k crossings.
