The Michael Hill International Violin Competition is a biennial music competition for violinists aged between 18 and 28.[1] It was founded by Michael Hill in 2001[2] as the Michael Hill World Violin Competition.[3] Hill remains a major sponsor,[4] claiming that "It is my dream that New Zealand will one day become a much more balanced society with not just wonderful sport – but also wonderful classical music."[5] In 2004, the event became a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions.[3][5]


The event is held in New Zealand, with the first two semi-final rounds of competition conducted in Queenstown and the third and final rounds held in Auckland.[6] There is a total prize pool of NZ$100,000, with the winner receiving $40,000. In 2009, the events gained about $500,000 worth of sponsorship.[7]


Special guests at the competition have included Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark,[8] and Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Christopher Finlayson.[5]

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
