alpar@40: \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40: 
alpar@209: The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
alpar@209: efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
alpar@209: planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
alpar@209: and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
alpar@40: usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
alpar@40: appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
alpar@40: limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
alpar@40: accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
alpar@40: the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
alpar@40: running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
kpeter@83: some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
alpar@40: 
alpar@209: Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
alpar@209: operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
alpar@209: In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
alpar@209: not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
kpeter@83: arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
alpar@209: this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
alpar@209: the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
alpar@209: is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
alpar@209: LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
alpar@209: \ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
alpar@209: in conjunction with other graph representations.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@40: the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
kpeter@314: with any graph structure.

kpeter@451: @defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs
deba@416: @ingroup graphs
kpeter@451: \brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
kpeter@451: 
kpeter@451: This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
deba@416: 
deba@416: The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
kpeter@451: graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
deba@416: adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
deba@416: latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
deba@416: which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
deba@416: 
deba@416: A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
kpeter@451: instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
deba@416: \code
deba@416: template <typename Digraph>
deba@416: int algorithm(const Digraph&);
deba@416: \endcode
deba@416: is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
deba@416: (in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
deba@416: arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
kpeter@451: to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
kpeter@451: The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
kpeter@451: methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
kpeter@451: have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
deba@416: actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
deba@416: graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
kpeter@451: obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
deba@416: considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
deba@416: To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
deba@416: \code
deba@416: template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
deba@416: \endcode
deba@416: template class can be used. The code looks as follows
deba@416: \code
deba@416: ListDigraph g;
kpeter@451: ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@416: int result = algorithm(rg);
deba@416: \endcode
kpeter@451: During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
kpeter@451: This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
deba@416: graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
deba@416: 
kpeter@451: In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
deba@416: graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
kpeter@451: this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
deba@416: a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
deba@416: obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
deba@416: detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
deba@416: 
deba@416: The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
deba@416: capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
kpeter@451: meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
kpeter@451: on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
kpeter@451: For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
kpeter@451: out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
kpeter@451: adaptor modifies the original digraph.
kpeter@451: However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
deba@416: 
deba@416: Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
kpeter@451: ReverseDigraph has constructor
deba@416: \code
deba@416: ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
deba@416: \endcode
kpeter@451: This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
deba@416: reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
kpeter@451: <tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
deba@416: \code
deba@416: int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
kpeter@451:   ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@416:   return algorithm2(rg);
deba@416: }

alpar@40: \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
alpar@40: \ingroup maps
alpar@40: \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
alpar@40: 
kpeter@559: This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50: maps from other maps.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@406: Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83: They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83: (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83: 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@50: The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40: algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40: type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@314: usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40:   Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40:     if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40:       return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40:     } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40:       return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40:     } else {
alpar@40:       return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40:     }
alpar@40:   }
alpar@209: 
kpeter@83:   Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209: 
kpeter@314:   graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40:     .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83:     .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40:     .run();
alpar@209: \endcode
kpeter@83: The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
kpeter@314: \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
kpeter@83: and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83: get the color of each node.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40: case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50: function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40: \code
kpeter@83:   Digraph graph;
kpeter@83: 
kpeter@83:   typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83:   DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83:   DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83: 
kpeter@83:   typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
alpar@40:   TimeMap time(length, speed);
alpar@209: 
kpeter@83:   Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40:   dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40: \endcode
kpeter@83: We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83: The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83: the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40: class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40: \c Dijkstra algorithm.

kpeter@768: conservative if and only if there is no directed cycle of negative total
kpeter@768: length. For an arbitrary length function, the negative of the minimum
kpeter@768: cycle mean is the smallest \f$\epsilon\f$ value so that increasing the
kpeter@768: arc lengths uniformly by \f$\epsilon\f$ results in a conservative length
kpeter@768: function.
kpeter@768: 
kpeter@768: LEMON contains three algorithms for solving the minimum mean cycle problem:
kpeter@771: - \ref Karp "Karp"'s original algorithm \ref amo93networkflows,
kpeter@771:   \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@768: - \ref HartmannOrlin "Hartmann-Orlin"'s algorithm, which is an improved
kpeter@771:   version of Karp's algorithm \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@771: - \ref Howard "Howard"'s policy iteration algorithm
kpeter@771:   \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@768: 
kpeter@768: In practice, the Howard algorithm proved to be by far the most efficient
kpeter@768: one, though the best known theoretical bound on its running time is
kpeter@768: exponential.
kpeter@768: Both Karp and HartmannOrlin algorithms run in time O(ne) and use space
kpeter@768: O(n<sup>2</sup>+e), but the latter one is typically faster due to the
kpeter@768: applied early termination scheme.

kpeter@50: \brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@590: This group contains the algorithms for calculating
alpar@40: matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
kpeter@590: finding a subset of the edges for which each node has at most one incident
kpeter@590: edge.
alpar@209: 
alpar@40: There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
alpar@40: graphs.  The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
alpar@40: easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
kpeter@406: can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
alpar@40: matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
alpar@40: maximum cardinality matching.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@406: The matching algorithms implemented in LEMON:
kpeter@406: - \ref MaxBipartiteMatching Hopcroft-Karp augmenting path algorithm
kpeter@406:   for calculating maximum cardinality matching in bipartite graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref PrBipartiteMatching Push-relabel algorithm
kpeter@406:   for calculating maximum cardinality matching in bipartite graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref MaxWeightedBipartiteMatching
kpeter@406:   Successive shortest path algorithm for calculating maximum weighted
kpeter@406:   matching and maximum weighted bipartite matching in bipartite graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref MinCostMaxBipartiteMatching
kpeter@406:   Successive shortest path algorithm for calculating minimum cost maximum
kpeter@406:   matching in bipartite graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref MaxMatching Edmond's blossom shrinking algorithm for calculating
kpeter@406:   maximum cardinality matching in general graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref MaxWeightedMatching Edmond's blossom shrinking algorithm for calculating
kpeter@406:   maximum weighted matching in general graphs.
kpeter@406: - \ref MaxWeightedPerfectMatching
kpeter@406:   Edmond's blossom shrinking algorithm for calculating maximum weighted
kpeter@406:   perfect matching in general graphs.

alpar@40:   without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40:   interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40:   the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40:   should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40:   of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40:   doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50:   that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
