Lawrence & Gibson is an independent publisher founded in Wellington, New Zealand in 2005.[1] A 2011 feature in The Dominion Post described it as the capital city's most promising independent publishers.[2]


The organisation functions as a non-profit worker collective where profits are split 50/50 between author and publisher.[1] Notable authors include Richard Meros,[3][4][5][6] William Dewey,[7]Brannavan Gnanalingam,[8]Thomasin Sleigh,[9] Rhydian Thomas,[10] A.D. Jameson, Dick Whyte and Laurence Stacey, and Ulrich Haarburste. Its most notable release is Richard Meros' On the condition and possibilities of Helen Clark taking me as Her Young Lover.[5]


In 2016 they released Brannavan Gnanalingam's 'A Briefcase, Two Pies and a Penthouse', which was long-listed for novel of the year in New Zealand's Ockham Book Awards[11]. The following year, Gnanalingam's 'Sodden Downstream' was short-listed for the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards novel of the year[12].


Both of their 2017 novels - Milk Island and Sodden Downstream - received critical acclaim. Milk Island was judged as the fifth best book of 2017 by the Spinoff[13], while Sodden Downstream was described by the same publication as 'surely the best local novel of 2017 by a long stretch. No other novel comes close to achieving such a close examination of life in New Zealand right now.'[14]

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
