Xueshan (Snow Mountain)
Chinese 雪山






















Xueshan or Hsuehshan (Chinese: 雪山; pinyin: Xuě Shān; literally: "Snow Mountain") a mountain in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. It is the second highest mountain in Taiwan and in East Asia, at 3,886 m (12,749 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Shei-Pa National Park and it is visible in good weather from hills near Taiwan's capital Taipei.


In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was known to Westerners as Mt. Sylvia.[2] In 1923 (see Taiwan under Japanese rule), the mountain gained the name Tsugitakayama (次高山), literally the "Second Highest Mountain", because in the Japanese Empire at that time, only Yushan (also in Taiwan) was higher. They are both ahead of Mount Fuji in terms of height. It was designated part of the Tsugitaka-Taroko National Park [ja] by the Governor-General of Taiwan on 12 December 1937.

Climbing Xueshan


Xueshan is a part of the Shei-Pa National Park and so climbers are required to apply for a park entry permit. This can be done 7–30 days in advance. After that a police mountain entry permit must be applied for. This can be done at the police station in Wuling Farm on the spot.


There are two cabins on the trail. The first, Qika Cabin, is at the 2.0 kilometres (1.2 mi) mark. The second, 369 Cabin, is at the 6.9 kilometres (4.3 mi) mark. Both cabins are very basic containing bunker style beds. Hikers must bring their own sleeping and cooking gear.


The peak is at the 10.9 kilometres (6.8 mi) mark.

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
