\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.

kpeter@50
   104
This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50
   105
maps from other maps.
alpar@40
   106
kpeter@406
   107
Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83
   108
They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83
   109
(negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83
   110
'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40
   111
kpeter@50
   112
The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40
   113
algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40
   114
type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@314
   115
usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
alpar@40
   116
\code
alpar@40
   117
  Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40
   118
    if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40
   119
      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40
   120
    } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40
   121
      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40
   122
    } else {
alpar@40
   123
      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40
   124
    }
alpar@40
   125
  }
alpar@209
   126
kpeter@83
   127
  Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209
   128
kpeter@314
   129
  graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40
   130
    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83
   131
    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40
   132
    .run();
alpar@209
   133
\endcode
kpeter@83
   134
The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
kpeter@314
   135
\c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
kpeter@83
   136
and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83
   137
get the color of each node.
alpar@40
   138
alpar@40
   139
The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40
   140
case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50
   141
function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40
   142
\code
kpeter@83
   143
  Digraph graph;
kpeter@83
   144
kpeter@83
   145
  typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83
   146
  DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83
   147
  DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83
   148
kpeter@83
   149
  typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
alpar@40
   150
  TimeMap time(length, speed);
alpar@209
   151
kpeter@83
   152
  Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40
   153
  dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40
   154
\endcode
kpeter@83
   155
We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83
   156
The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83
   157
the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40
   158
class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40
   159
\c Dijkstra algorithm.

The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between
kpeter@406
   243
a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
kpeter@406
   244
digraph, a \f$cap:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
kpeter@406
   245
\f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
kpeter@406
   246
A maximum flow is an \f$f:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the
kpeter@406
   247
following optimization problem.

\f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on

outgoing arcs. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$ digraph, a
kpeter@406
   314
\f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
kpeter@50

cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:

alpar@210
   317
\f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}

alpar@40

LEMON contains several algorithms related to minimum cut problems:
alpar@40
   321
kpeter@406
   322
- \ref HaoOrlin "Hao-Orlin algorithm" for calculating minimum cut
kpeter@406
   323
  in directed graphs.
kpeter@406
   324
- \ref NagamochiIbaraki "Nagamochi-Ibaraki algorithm" for

kpeter@406
   327

\brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
alpar@40
   361
kpeter@50
   362
This group contains algorithm objects and functions to calculate
alpar@40
   363
matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
kpeter@83
   364
finding a subset of the arcs which does not shares common endpoints.
alpar@209
   365
alpar@40
   366
There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
alpar@40
   367
graphs.  The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
alpar@40
   368
easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
kpeter@406
   369
can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
alpar@40
   370
matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
alpar@40
   371
maximum cardinality matching.
alpar@40

alpar@40
   551
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@209
   552
kpeter@318
   553
- These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
alpar@40
   554
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@40
   555
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
alpar@40
   556
alpar@40
   557
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
kpeter@318
   558
  implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@40
   559
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40
   560
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40
   561
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40
   562
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40
   563
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40
   564
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40
   565
alpar@40
   566
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50
   567
  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@40
   568
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@40
   569
alpar@40
   570
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
