halls_theorem (706B)


      1 # Hall's theorem
      2 
      3 In a [bipartite_graph] (X, Y), there is a [matching] incident to each [vertex] of X iff for each [subset] W of X, we have |W| \leq |Neighbors(W)|.
      4 - notion of hall blocker: if a [bipartite_graph] has not [perfect_matching] then... cf https://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2026/07/bipartite-perfect-matching-in.html?m=1
