partition=truefalse

If partition=true and G is biregular, two lists of vertices comprising a biregular partition of G are returned. Otherwise a simple Boolean value is returned indicating whether the graph is biregular.

IsBiregular returns true if the graph G is biregular and false otherwise. If a variable name P is specified, then this name is assigned a bipartition of the vertices as a list of lists.

A graph G is biregular if its set of vertices can be partitioned into two sets, $V_1$ and $V_2$, such that every edge in G connects a vertex in $V_1$ to a vertex in $V_2$ and if there exist non-negative integers ${\mathrm{D}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{D}}_2$ such that every vertex in $V_1$ has degree ${\mathrm{D}}_1$ and every vertex in $V_2$ has degree ${\mathrm{D}}_2$.
