"""Computes the extendability of a graph. | |
The extendability of a graph is defined as the maximum $k$ for which `G` | |
is $k$-extendable. Graph `G` is $k$-extendable if and only if `G` has a | |
perfect matching and every set of $k$ independent edges can be extended | |
to a perfect matching in `G`. | |
Parameters | |
---------- | |
G : NetworkX Graph | |
A fully-connected bipartite graph without self-loops | |
Returns | |
------- | |
extendability : int | |
Raises | |
------ | |
NetworkXError | |
If the graph `G` is disconnected. | |
If the graph `G` is not bipartite. | |
If the graph `G` does not contain a perfect matching. | |
If the residual graph of `G` is not strongly connected. | |

Definition: | |
Let `G` be a simple, connected, undirected and bipartite graph with a perfect | |
matching M and bipartition (U,V). The residual graph of `G`, denoted by $G_M$, | |
is the graph obtained from G by directing the edges of M from V to U and the | |
edges that do not belong to M from U to V. | |
Lemma [1]_ : | |
Let M be a perfect matching of `G`. `G` is $k$-extendable if and only if its residual | |
graph $G_M$ is strongly connected and there are $k$ vertex-disjoint directed | |
paths between every vertex of U and every vertex of V. | |
Assuming that input graph `G` is undirected, simple, connected, bipartite and contains | |
a perfect matching M, this function constructs the residual graph $G_M$ of G and | |
returns the minimum value among the maximum vertex-disjoint directed paths between | |
every vertex of U and every vertex of V in $G_M$. By combining the definitions | |
and the lemma, this value represents the extendability of the graph `G`. | |
Time complexity O($n^3$ $m^2$)) where $n$ is the number of vertices | |
and $m$ is the number of edges. | |
