Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give a "textbook quality" proof of the optimal algorithm, called Ranking, for the online bipartite matching problem (OBM) and to highlight its role in matching-based market design. In particular, we discuss a generalization of OBM, called the adwords problem, which has had a significant impact in the ad auctions marketplace.
