Matchings #

A matching for a simple graph is a set of disjoint pairs of adjacent vertices, and the set of all the vertices in a matching is called its support (and sometimes the vertices in the support are said to be saturated by the matching). A perfect matching is a matching whose support contains every vertex of the graph.

In this module, we represent a matching as a subgraph whose vertices are each incident to at most one edge, and the edges of the subgraph represent the paired vertices.

def simple_graph.subgraph.is_matching {V : Type u} {G : simple_graph V} (M : G.subgraph) :
Prop

The subgraph M of G is a matching if every vertex of M is incident to exactly one edge in M. We say that the vertices in M.support are matched or saturated.

Given a vertex, returns the unique edge of the matching it is incident to.

The subgraph M of G is a perfect matching on G if it's a matching and every vertex G is matched.
