/**
 *  The {@code BipartiteMatching} class represents a data type for computing a
 *  <em>maximum (cardinality) matching</em> and a
 *  <em>minimum (cardinality) vertex cover</em> in a bipartite graph.
 *  A <em>bipartite graph</em> in a graph whose vertices can be partitioned
 *  into two disjoint sets such that every edge has one endpoint in either set.
 *  A <em>matching</em> in a graph is a subset of its edges with no common
 *  vertices. A <em>maximum matching</em> is a matching with the maximum number
 *  of edges.
 *  A <em>perfect matching</em> is a matching which matches all vertices in the graph.
 *  A <em>vertex cover</em> in a graph is a subset of its vertices such that
 *  every edge is incident to at least one vertex. A <em>minimum vertex cover</em>
 *  is a vertex cover with the minimum number of vertices.
 *  By Konig's theorem, in any bipartite
 *  graph, the maximum number of edges in matching equals the minimum number
 *  of vertices in a vertex cover.
 *  The maximum matching problem in <em>nonbipartite</em> graphs is
 *  also important, but all known algorithms for this more general problem
 *  are substantially more complicated.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation uses the <em>alternating-path algorithm</em>.
 *  It is equivalent to reducing to the maximum-flow problem and running
 *  the augmenting-path algorithm on the resulting flow network, but it
 *  does so with less overhead.
 *  The constructor takes <em>O</em>((<em>E</em> + <em>V</em>) <em>V</em>)
 *  time, where <em>E</em> is the number of edges and <em>V</em> is the
 *  number of vertices in the graph.
 *  It uses &Theta;(<em>V</em>) extra space (not including the graph).
 *  <p>
 *  See also {@link HopcroftKarp}, which solves the problem in
 *  <em>O</em>(<em>E</em> sqrt(<em>V</em>)) using the Hopcroft-Karp
 *  algorithm and
 *  <a href = "https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/65reductions/BipartiteMatchingToMaxflow.java.html">BipartiteMatchingToMaxflow</a>,
 *  which solves the problem in <em>O</em>((<em>E</em> + <em>V</em>) <em>V</em>)
 *  time via a reduction to maxflow.
 *  <p>
