matchpairs function in r2019a

I used matchpairs function to solve linear assignment problem but was wondering which algorithm it implemented and the time complexity. Is it Hungarian?
Thank you

The algorithm solves the same problem as the Hungarian algorithm, but it's not the same algorithm. The Hungarian algorithm has complexity O(N^4), while the algorithm used here has complexity O(N^3*log(N)) for dense matrices, and O(nnz*N*log(N)) for sparse matrices.
These are worst-case complexities, for many matrices the performance will be better, as simple cases are treated in a preprocessing step.
If you type 'edit matchpairs', there is a reference to a paper describing the algorithm used in that file.

The paper is also listed in the References section of the documentation page for matchpairs. That way you avoid the chance of accidentally modifying matchpairs.m.
Thanks for your answer. I checked the algorithm file of 'matchpairs' and I found that there is a 'matlab.internal.graph.perfectMatching' function to perform matching (no further explainations). I am wondering what exactly it is.
And I also checked the reference paper, the paper actually gave several algorithms.
