**************
Graph Matching
**************

Given a graph G = (V,E), a matching M in G is a set of pairwise non-adjacent
edges; that is, no two edges share a common vertex.

    matchings of the graph G, the smallest is returned.

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph
      Undirected graph

    Returns
    -------
    min_maximal_matching : set
      Returns a set of edges such that no two edges share a common endpoint
      and every edge not in the set shares some common endpoint in the set.
      Cardinality will be 2*OPT in the worst case.

    Notes
    -----
    The algorithm computes an approximate solution fo the minimum maximal
    cardinality matching problem. The solution is no more than 2 * OPT in size.
    Runtime is $O(|E|)$.
