| The '''FKT algorithm''', named after [[Michael Fisher|Fisher]], [[Pieter Kasteleyn|Kasteleyn]], and [[Harold Neville Vazeille Temperley|Temperley]], counts the number of [[perfect matching]]s in a [[planar graph|planar]] graph in polynomial time. This same task is [[Sharp-P-complete|#P-complete]] for general graphs. Counting the number of [[Matching (graph theory)|matching]]s, even for planar graphs, is also #P-complete. The key idea is to convert the problem into a [[Pfaffian]] computation of a [[skew-symmetric matrix]] derived from a planar embedding of the graph. The Pfaffian of this matrix is then computed efficiently using standard [[Determinant#Algorithmic_implementation|determinant algorithms]].

| | |
| === Explanation ===
| |
| The main insight is that every non-zero term in the [[Pfaffian]] of the [[adjacency matrix]] of a graph ''G'' corresponds to a perfect matching. Thus, if one can find an orientation of ''G'' to align all signs of the terms in [[Pfaffian]] (no matter ''+'' or ''-'' ), then the absolute value of the [[Pfaffian]] is just the number of perfect matchings in ''G''. The FKT algorithm does such a task for a planar graph ''G''.
| |
| | |
| Let ''G'' = (''V'', ''E'') be an undirected graph with [[adjacency matrix]] ''A''. Define ''PM''(''n'') to be the set of partitions of ''n'' elements into pairs, then the number of perfecting matchings in ''G'' is
| |
| :<math>\operatorname{PerfMatch}(G) = \sum_{M \in PM(|V|)} \prod_{(i,j) \in M} A_{i j}.</math>
| |
| Closely related to this is the [[Pfaffian]] for an ''n'' by ''n'' matrix ''A''
| |
| :<math>\operatorname{pf}(A) = \sum_{M \in PM(n)} \operatorname{sgn}(M) \prod_{(i,j) \in M} A_{i j},</math>
| |
| where sgn(''M'') is the [[Parity of a permutation|sign of the permutation]] ''M''. A Pfaffian orientation of ''G'' is a directed graph ''H'' with [[Adjacency_matrix#Variations|(1, −1, 0)-adjacency matrix]] ''B'' such that pf(''B'') = PerfMatch(''G'').<ref>{{cite conference

Specifically, for a planar graph ''G'', let ''H'' be a directed version of ''G'' where an odd number of edges are oriented clockwise for every face in a planar embedding of ''G''. Then ''H'' is a Pfaffian orientation of ''G''.
| |
| | |
| Finally, for any [[skew-symmetric matrix]] ''A'',
| |
| :<math>\operatorname{pf}(A)^2 = \det(A),</math>
| |
| where det(''A'') is the [[determinant]] of ''A''. This result is due to [[Arthur Cayley|Cayley]].<ref>{{cite journal

| |
| # Compute a [[spanning tree]] ''T''<sub>1</sub> of the input graph ''G''.
| |
| # Give an arbitrary orientation to each edge in ''G'' that is also in ''T''<sub>1</sub>.

| # Use the planar embedding to create an (undirected) graph ''T''<sub>2</sub> with the same vertex set as the [[dual graph]] of ''G''.
| |
| # Create an edge in ''T''<sub>2</sub> between two vertices if their corresponding faces in ''G'' share an edge in ''G'' that is not in ''T''<sub>1</sub>. (Note that ''T''<sub>2</sub> is a tree.)
| |
| # For each leaf ''v'' in ''T''<sub>2</sub> (that is not also the root):
| |
| ## Let ''e'' be the lone edge of ''G'' in the face corresponding to ''v'' that does not yet have an orientation.
| |
| ## Give ''e'' an orientation such that the number of edges oriented clock-wise is odd.

| ## Remove ''v'' from ''T''<sub>2</sub>.

| # Return the absolute value of the [[Pfaffian]] of the [[Adjacency_matrix#Variations|(1, −1, 0)-adjacency matrix]] of ''G'', which is the absolute value of the square root of the determinant.

| The sum of weighted perfect matchings can also be computed by using the [[Tutte matrix]] for the adjacency matrix in the last step.
