S. de Silva Jayasinghe




Nanayakkara Atulugamage Stephen de Silva Jayasinghe OBE (6 January 1911 - 1977) was a Ceylonese politician.[1]


At the 2nd parliamentary elections held between 24 May 1952 and 30 May 1952 he successfully contested the seat of Wellawatte-Galkissa on behalf of the United National Party. He polled 13,388 (57.5% of the total vote) and 4,500 votes clear of his nearest rival, Colvin R. de Silva, the sitting member and Lanka Sama Samaja Party nominee.[2] He ran for re-election at the 3rd parliamentary elections held between 5 April 1956 and 10 April 1956, but was defeated by de Silva, who received 16,782 votes to Jayasinghe’s 11,806 votes.[3]


At the 4th parliamentary elections, held in March 1960, the seat of Wellawatte-Galkissa was replaced by the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia electorate. The newly created seat was contested by Jayasinghe and de Silva, with Jayasinghe winning by 4,372 votes.[4] However as the election left neither of the country's two major parties with a majority, another election was called. At the subsequent elections held in July that year Jayasinghe was defeated by de Silva by 1,110 votes.[5]


At the next parliamentary elections, held on 22 March 1965, Jayasinghe re-contested the seat of Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, this time successfully defeating de Silva by 3,289 votes.[6]


He was unable to retain the seat at the 1970 parliamentary elections, where he was beaten by the Lanka Sama Samaja candidate, Vivienne Goonewardena, 29,430 votes to 27,463 votes.[7] His long-term political rival, de Silva, having been elected to the seat of Agalawatte in a 1967 by-election.


In July 1977 he regained the Dehilawa-Mount Lavinia seat at the 8th parliamentary elections, polling 18,279 votes (62.75% of the total vote).[8] Jayasinghe died a few months after he was elected and at the subsequent by-election his daughter, Sunethra, was elected to replace him.[9]

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
