Resumen
In this work, I present an optimization problem which consists of assigning entries
of a stellar catalog to multiple entries of another stellar catalog such that the probability
of such assignment is maximum. I show a way of modeling it as a Maximum
Weighted Stable Set Problem which is further used to solve a real astronomical
instance and I partially characterize the forbidden subgraphs of the resulting family
of graphs given by that reduction. Finally, I prove that the problem is NP-Hard. Fil: Severín, Daniel. Universidad Nacional de Rosario. FCEIA. CONICET. Rosario; Argentina
