What are Hall's Theorem and Hall's Condition for bipartite matchings in graph theory? Also sometimes called Hall's marriage theorem, we'll be going it in today's video graph theory lesson!

A bipartite graph with partite sets U and W, where U has as many or fewer vertices than W, satisfies Hall's condition if, for every subset S of U, S has as many or fewer vertices than it has neighbors (note that all of S's neighbors are in W, since this is a bipartite graph).

Now let G be a bipartite graph with partite sets U and W, where |U| is less than or equal to |W|. Hall's theorem states that G contains a matching that covers U if and only if G satisfies Hall's condition.
