- """Computes the extendability of a graph.
- The extendability of a graph is defined as the maximum $k$ for which `G`
- is $k$-extendable. Graph `G` is $k$-extendable if and only if `G` has a
- perfect matching and every set of $k$ independent edges can be extended
- to a perfect matching in `G`.
- Parameters
- ----------
- G : NetworkX Graph
- A fully-connected bipartite graph without self-loops
- Returns
- -------
- extendability : int
- Raises
- ------
- NetworkXError
- If the graph `G` is disconnected.
- If the graph `G` is not bipartite.
- If the graph `G` does not contain a perfect matching.
- If the residual graph of `G` is not strongly connected.
- Notes
- -----
- Definition:
- Let `G` be a simple, connected, undirected and bipartite graph with a perfect
- matching M and bipartition (U,V). The residual graph of `G`, denoted by $G_M$,
- is the graph obtained from G by directing the edges of M from V to U and the
- edges that do not belong to M from U to V.
- Lemma [1]_ :
- Let M be a perfect matching of `G`. `G` is $k$-extendable if and only if its residual
- graph $G_M$ is strongly connected and there are $k$ vertex-disjoint directed
- paths between every vertex of U and every vertex of V.
- Assuming that input graph `G` is undirected, simple, connected, bipartite and contains
- a perfect matching M, this function constructs the residual graph $G_M$ of G and
- returns the minimum value among the maximum vertex-disjoint directed paths between
- every vertex of U and every vertex of V in $G_M$. By combining the definitions
- and the lemma, this value represents the extendability of the graph `G`.
- Time complexity O($n^3$ $m^2$)) where $n$ is the number of vertices
- and $m$ is the number of edges.
