Berge's lemma

Need something about Berge's lemma in graph theory, which states that a matching M in a graph G is maximum if and only if there is in G no augmenting path with respect to M. DFH 21:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
Photograph should be added from a source with a free license, if available
Basic biographical information required, including place of birth, education details, positions held
Article needs expanding and should emphasise reasons for notability of subject
After expansion, article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
Information on research should be expanded and references required
List of key papers/books would be useful
References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
External links present which could be used to expand article

Institutes

I'm very interested in the "Berge's job" topic, but found no words in the article about this. Did he teach combinatorics? As I know he was a professor in France, but exactly where? Thx. Gubbubu (talk) 07:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of his life he was a "chercheur" (research associate) at the Centre d'Analyse et de Mathématique Sociales [1], a research unit sponsored by CNRS and École des hautes études en sciences sociales. A good school but an unusual place for a mathematician. Encyclops (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Portions of this wikipedia article are copy-pasted from a book chapter

While correcting the accents in that wikipedia article, I noticed that portions of it article are directly copy-pasted from Toft (2006). For instance the Section "Mathematical Contributions" of the wikipedia article is "borrowed" (starting at "Games were a passion of Claude Berge...") from Section 3 (Games, Graphs, Topology) of that book chapter (the person who did the copy-paste even kept the referencing to articles within the text but didn't copy the references themselves). Is that a breach of copyright? Should we remove this and check that article for plagiarism?
