Hall's condition for a finite bipartite graph with parts
and
is that
for every subset
of
, where
is the set of vertices
in
adjacent to at least one vertex in
. By Hall's theorem, this
condition is equivalent to the existence of a matching
covering every vertex in
(Harary 1994, pp. 53-54). When
, such a matching is a perfect matching.
