contents Given two point sets $S$ and $T$, the minimum-cost many-to-many matching with demands (MMD) problem is the problem of finding a minimum-cost many-to-many matching between $S$ and $T$ such that each point of $S$ (respectively $T$) is matched to at least a given number of the points of $T$ (respectively $S$). We propose the first $O\left(n^2\right)$-time algorithm for computing a one dimensional MMD (OMMD) of minimum cost between $S$ and $T$, where $\left|S\right|+\left|T\right|=n$. In an OMMD problem, the input point sets $S$ and $T$ lie on the real line and the cost of matching a point to another point equals the Euclidean distance between the two points. We also study a generalized version of the MMD problem, the many-to-many matching with demands and capacities (MMDC) problem, that in which each point has a limited capacity in addition to a demand. We give the first $O(n^2)$-time algorithm for the minimum-cost one dimensional MMDC (OMMDC) problem.
