is_pseudographical
(sequence)[source]¶ Returns True if some pseudograph can realize the sequence.
Every nonnegative integer sequence with an even sum is pseudographical (see [1]).
Parameters: sequence (list or iterable container) – A sequence of integer node degrees Returns: valid – True if the sequence is a pseudographic degree sequence and False if not. Return type: bool Notes
The worst-case run time is \(O(n)\) where n is the length of the sequence.
