is_maximal_matching(G, matching)
A maximal matching in a graph is a matching in which adding any edge would cause the set to no longer be a valid matching.
A dictionary or set representing a matching. If a dictionary, it must have matching[u] == v
and matching[v] == u
for each edge (u, v)
in the matching. If a set, it must have elements of the form (u, v)
, where (u, v)
is an edge in the matching.
Whether the given set or dictionary represents a valid maximal matching in the graph.
Return True if matching
is a maximal matching of G

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
