networkx.algorithms.graphical.is_multigraphical

is_multigraphical(sequence)

Returns True if some multigraph can realize the sequence.

Parameters:sequence (list) – A list of integers Returns:valid – True if deg_sequence is a multigraphic 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.
