An algebraic Monte-Carlo algorithm for the partition adjacency matrix realization problem

Abstract

The graphical realization of a given degree sequence and given partition adjacency matrix simultaneously, is a relevant problem in data driven modeling of networks. Here we formulate common generalizations of this problem and the exact matching problem, and solve them with an algebraic Monte-Carlo algorithm that runs in polynomial time if the number of partition classes is bounded by a constant. We note, that no deterministic polynomial time algorithm is known for any of these problems.
