# Edmonds's blossom algorithm for maximum weight matching in undirected graphs

This library implements the Blossom algorithm that computes a maximum weighted matching of an undirected graph in O(number of nodes ** 3).

It was ported from the python code authored by Joris van Rantwijk included in the NetworkX graph library and modified.

## Getting started

Add the necessary dependencies to your project:

```clojure
[ageneau/blossom "0.1.4"]
[aysylu/loom "1.0.2"]
```

## Usage

```clojure
(ns test.blossom
(:require [blossom.max-weight-matching :as mwm]
[blossom.matching :as m]
[loom.graph :as lg]))

(def edges [[1 2 2][1 3 -2][2 3 1][2 4 -1][3 4 -6]])
(def g (-> (lg/weighted-graph) (lg/add-edges* edges)))

;; Compute a maximum weigted matching
(def maxw-matching (mwm/max-weight-matching edges))
;; => #{#{1 2}}

;; Compute the maximum-cardinality matching with maximum weight among all
;; maximum-cardinality matchings.
(def maxc-matching (mwm/max-weight-matching edges {:max-cardinality true}))
;; => #{#{4 2} #{1 3}}

;; Compute a maximal matching (not necessarily max weight)
(def max-matching (m/maximal-matching g))
;; => #{#{4 3} #{1 2}}

(m/is-matching? g maxw-matching)
;; => true

(m/is-maximal-matching? g maxw-matching)
;; => false

(m/is-maximal-matching? g maxc-matching)
;; => true

(m/is-maximal-matching? g max-matching)
;; => true

```

## Unit tests

Some unit tests are auto-generated by instrumenting the python code which this project is based on running the python unit tests and outputting internal data to JSON which is then compared to the equivalent Clojure data structures.

The JSON data for these unit tests can be generated doing:

```
make -C python
```

To run the Clojure unit tests:

```
lein do clean, test
```

To run the Clojurescript unit tests:

```
lein do clean, doo node node-test once
```
