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.

Main definitions

• SimpleGraph.Subgraph.IsMatching: M.IsMatching means that M is a matching of its underlying graph. denoted M.is_matching.

• SimpleGraph.Subgraph.IsPerfectMatching defines when a subgraph M of a simple graph is a perfect matching, denoted M.IsPerfectMatching.

def SimpleGraph.Subgraph.IsMatching {V : Type u_1} {G : SimpleGraph 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.

Equations

• M.IsMatching = ∀ ⦃v : V⦄, v ∈ M.verts → ∃! w : V, M.Adj v w

noncomputable def SimpleGraph.Subgraph.IsMatching.toEdge {V : Type u_1} {G : SimpleGraph V} {M : G.Subgraph} (h : M.IsMatching) (v : ↑M.verts) : ↑M.edgeSet

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

def SimpleGraph.Subgraph.IsPerfectMatching {V : Type u_1} {G : SimpleGraph V} (M : G.Subgraph) : Prop

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