Let GG be a bipartite graph with vertex classes XX and YY. What does it mean to say that GG contains a matching from XX to YY ? State and prove Hall's Marriage Theorem.

Suppose now that every x∈Xx \in X has d(x)⩾1d(x) \geqslant 1, and that if x∈Xx \in X and y∈Yy \in Y with xy∈E(G)x y \in E(G) then d(x)⩾d(y)d(x) \geqslant d(y). Show that GG contains a matching from XX to YY.
