An Efficient Algorithm To Test Potential Bipartiteness Of Graphical Degree Sequences, Kai Wang

Theory and Applications of Graphs

As a partial answer to a question of Rao, a deterministic and customizable efficient algorithm is presented to test whether an arbitrary graphical degree sequence has a bipartite realization. The algorithm can be configured to run in polynomial time, at the expense of possibly producing an erroneous output on some ``yes'' instances but with very low error rate.
