Suppose we consider the class of connected non-bipartite graphs with a unique perfect matching with 10 vertices and 12 edges. Now from this collection, how one can obtain the graph(s) whose adjacency matrix has highest absolute value of its determinant?

The following code tells that the max absolute value of determinant is 9 and there are 4 such graphs achieving it:

maxdet = 0
res = []
for G in graphs.nauty_geng('-c 10 12'):
    if G.is_bipartite() or abs(G.matching_polynomial()[0])!=1:
        continue
    d = abs(G.adjacency_matrix().det())
    if d>maxdet:
        res = []
        maxdet = d
    if d==maxdet:
        res.append(G)
print('Max:',maxdet)
print('#graphs:', len(res))

Can you please help me in displaying those graphs, maximizing the determinant?

Add something along these lines:

for G in res:
    G.show()

ok.But I need those graphs having a unique perfect matching.. see the question

They do have a unique perfect matching. In my code this is controlled by the requirement for G.matching_polynomial()[0] to be equal -1.
