\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40
    30
alpar@209
    31
The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
alpar@209
    32
efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
alpar@209
    33
planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
alpar@209
    34
and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
alpar@40
    35
alpar@40
    36
The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
alpar@40
    37
usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
alpar@40
    38
appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
alpar@40
    39
limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
alpar@40
    40
accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
alpar@40
    41
the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
alpar@40
    42
running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
kpeter@83
    43
some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
alpar@40
    44
alpar@209
    45
Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
alpar@209
    46
operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
alpar@209
    47
In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
alpar@209
    48
not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
kpeter@83
    49
arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
alpar@209
    50
this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
alpar@209
    51
the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
alpar@209
    52
is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
alpar@209
    53
LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
alpar@209
    54
\ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
alpar@209
    55
in conjunction with other graph representations.
alpar@40
    56
alpar@40
    57
You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@40
    58
the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
kpeter@314
    59
with any graph structure.

\brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
kpeter@451
    68
kpeter@451
    69
This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
deba@416
    70
deba@416
    71
The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
kpeter@451
    72
graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
deba@416
    73
adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
deba@416
    74
latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
deba@416
    75
which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
deba@416
    76
deba@416
    77
A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
kpeter@451
    78
instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
deba@416
    79
\code
deba@416
    80
template <typename Digraph>
deba@416
    81
int algorithm(const Digraph&);
deba@416
    82
\endcode
deba@416
    83
is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
deba@416
    84
(in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
deba@416
    85
arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
kpeter@451
    86
to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
kpeter@451
    87
The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
kpeter@451
    88
methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
kpeter@451
    89
have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
deba@416
    90
actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
deba@416
    91
graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
kpeter@451
    92
obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
deba@416
    93
considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
deba@416
    94
To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
deba@416
    95
\code
deba@416
    96
template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
deba@416
    97
\endcode
deba@416
    98
template class can be used. The code looks as follows
deba@416
    99
\code
deba@416
   100
ListDigraph g;
kpeter@451
   101
ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@416
   102
int result = algorithm(rg);
deba@416
   103
\endcode
kpeter@451
   104
During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
kpeter@451
   105
This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
deba@416
   106
graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
deba@416
   107
kpeter@451
   108
In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
deba@416
   109
graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
kpeter@451
   110
this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
deba@416
   111
a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
deba@416
   112
obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
deba@416
   113
detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
deba@416
   114
deba@416
   115
The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
deba@416
   116
capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
kpeter@451
   117
meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
kpeter@451
   118
on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
kpeter@451
   119
For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
kpeter@451
   120
out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
kpeter@451
   121
adaptor modifies the original digraph.
kpeter@451
   122
However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
deba@416
   123
deba@416
   124
Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
kpeter@451
   125
ReverseDigraph has constructor
deba@416
   126
\code
deba@416
   127
ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
deba@416
   128
\endcode
kpeter@451
   129
This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
deba@416
   130
reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
kpeter@451
   131
<tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
deba@416
   132
\code
deba@416
   133
int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
kpeter@451
   134
  ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@416
   135
  return algorithm2(rg);
deba@416
   136
}
deba@416
   137
\endcode

   169
kpeter@559
   170
This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50
   171
maps from other maps.
alpar@40
   172
kpeter@406
   173
Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83
   174
They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83
   175
(negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83
   176
'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40
   177
kpeter@50
   178
The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40
   179
algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40
   180
type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@314
   181
usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
alpar@40
   182
\code
alpar@40
   183
  Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40
   184
    if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40
   185
      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40
   186
    } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40
   187
      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40
   188
    } else {
alpar@40
   189
      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40
   190
    }
alpar@40
   191
  }
alpar@209
   192
kpeter@83
   193
  Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209
   194
kpeter@314
   195
  graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40
   196
    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83
   197
    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40
   198
    .run();
alpar@209
   199
\endcode
kpeter@83
   200
The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
kpeter@314
   201
\c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
kpeter@83
   202
and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83
   203
get the color of each node.
alpar@40
   204
alpar@40
   205
The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40
   206
case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50
   207
function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40
   208
\code
kpeter@83
   209
  Digraph graph;
kpeter@83
   210
kpeter@83
   211
  typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83
   212
  DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83
   213
  DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83
   214
kpeter@83
   215
  typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
alpar@40
   216
  TimeMap time(length, speed);
alpar@209
   217
kpeter@83
   218
  Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40
   219
  dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40
   220
\endcode
kpeter@83
   221
We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83
   222
The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83
   223
the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40
   224
class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40
   225
\c Dijkstra algorithm.

\brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.
alpar@40

   326
This group contains the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
alpar@40
   327
feasible circulations.
alpar@40
   328
kpeter@406
   329
The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between
kpeter@406
   330
a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
kpeter@609
   331
digraph, a \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
kpeter@406
   332
\f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
kpeter@609
   333
A maximum flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the
kpeter@406
   334
following optimization problem.
alpar@40
   335
kpeter@609
   336
\f[ \max\sum_{sv\in A} f(sv) - \sum_{vs\in A} f(vs) \f]
kpeter@609
   337
\f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) = \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu)
kpeter@609
   338
    \quad \forall u\in V\setminus\{s,t\} \f]
kpeter@609
   339
\f[ 0 \leq f(uv) \leq cap(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]
alpar@40
   340
kpeter@50
   341
LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:
kpeter@406
   342
- \ref EdmondsKarp Edmonds-Karp algorithm.
kpeter@406
   343
- \ref Preflow Goldberg-Tarjan's preflow push-relabel algorithm.
kpeter@406
   344
- \ref DinitzSleatorTarjan Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic trees.
kpeter@406
   345
- \ref GoldbergTarjan Preflow push-relabel algorithm with dynamic trees.
alpar@40
   346
kpeter@406
   347
In most cases the \ref Preflow "Preflow" algorithm provides the
kpeter@406
   348
fastest method for computing a maximum flow. All implementations
kpeter@651
   349
also provide functions to query the minimum cut, which is the dual
kpeter@651
   350
problem of maximum flow.
kpeter@651
   351
kpeter@651
   352
\ref Circulation is a preflow push-relabel algorithm implemented directly 
kpeter@651
   353
for finding feasible circulations, which is a somewhat different problem,
kpeter@651
   354
but it is strongly related to maximum flow.
kpeter@651
   355
For more information, see \ref Circulation.

kpeter@609
   376
 - \ref CycleCanceling Cycle-Canceling algorithms.
kpeter@609
   377
kpeter@609
   378
In general NetworkSimplex is the most efficient implementation,
kpeter@609
   379
but in special cases other algorithms could be faster.
kpeter@609
   380
For example, if the total supply and/or capacities are rather small,
kpeter@609
   381
CapacityScaling is usually the fastest algorithm (without effective scaling).

This group contains the algorithms for calculating

There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in

graphs.  The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
alpar@40
   450
easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
kpeter@406
   451
can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
alpar@40
   452
matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or

   633
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@209
   634
kpeter@318
   635
- These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
alpar@40
   636
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@40
   637
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
alpar@40
   638
alpar@40
   639
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
kpeter@318
   640
  implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@40
   641
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40
   642
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40
   643
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40
   644
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40
   645
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40
   646
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40
   647
alpar@40
   648
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50
   649
  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@40
   650
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@40
   651
alpar@40
   652
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
