This function performs a pair-matching using (at most) two user-specified distance matrices in their (possibly sparse) list representations. For more details on ``list representations'' of a treatment-by-control distance matrix, see the documentation of the function ``create_list_from_mat''.

)This function returns the same object as function match_2C_mat.
A length-n vector of treatment indicator.
dataset to be matched.
A (possibly sparse) list representation of treatment-by-control distance matrix.
A second (possibly sparse) list representation of treatment-by-control distance matrix.
A penalty that does a trade-off between two parts of the network.
Number of controls matched to each treated. Default is set to 1.
A logical value indicating if overflow protection is turned on.
This function is designed for more experienced and sophisticated R users. Instead of providing possibly dense treatment-by-control distance matrices that take up a lot of memories, users may simply provide two lists that specifies information of edges: their starting points, ending points, capacity, and cost. For more information on list representations of a distance matrix, see the documentation of the function ``create_list_from_mat'' and ``create_list_from_scratch''. Note that by setting dist_list_2 = NULL, the usual matching framework is restored.
