In the United States


According to the U.S. Congress, which is responsible for creating and revising U.S. federal law, "the term 'foreign national' means. . . an individual who is not a citizen of the United States or a national of the United States (as defined in section 1101(a)(22) of title 8) and who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence, as defined by section 1101(a)(20) of title 8."[2] In other words, U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and permanent U.S. residents are not foreign nationals when it comes to the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the United States.[3] A permanent U.S. resident is statutorily entitled to U.S. nationality and at the same time strictly prohibited from spending more than six months outside the United States.[4]


Any alien who is provided Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which is a special program that was created by the U.S. Congress in the early 1990s, is considered a foreign national. Unless shown by "clear and convincing evidence" to the contrary, such foreign national is not a refugee and has no right to U.S. nationality or permanent residency.[5]



In Canada


The law of Canada divides people into three major groups: citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals.[1] Under section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection of Canada (IRPA), "foreign national means a person who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, and includes a stateless person."[6]

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
