is_multigraphical

is_multigraphical(sequence)

Returns True if some multigraph can realize the sequence.

Parameters:

deg_sequence : list

A list of integers

Returns:

valid : bool

True if deg_sequence is a multigraphic degree sequence and False if not.

Notes

The worst-case run time is O(n) where n is the length of the sequence.
