\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40
    28
alpar@209
    29
The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
alpar@209
    30
efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
alpar@209
    31
planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
alpar@209
    32
and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
alpar@40
    33
alpar@40
    34
The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
alpar@40
    35
usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
alpar@40
    36
appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
alpar@40
    37
limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
alpar@40
    38
accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
alpar@40
    39
the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
alpar@40
    40
running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
kpeter@83
    41
some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
alpar@40
    42
alpar@209
    43
Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
alpar@209
    44
operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
alpar@209
    45
In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
alpar@209
    46
not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
kpeter@83
    47
arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
alpar@209
    48
this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
alpar@209
    49
the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
alpar@209
    50
is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
alpar@209
    51
LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
alpar@209
    52
\ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
alpar@209
    53
in conjunction with other graph representations.
alpar@40
    54
alpar@40
    55
You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@40
    56
the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
alpar@209
    57
with any graph structures.

kpeter@50
    96
This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50
    97
maps from other maps.
alpar@40
    98
kpeter@83
    99
Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83
   100
They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83
   101
(negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83
   102
'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40
   103
kpeter@50
   104
The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40
   105
algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40
   106
type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@83
   107
usage of map adaptors with the \c digraphToEps() function.
alpar@40
   108
\code
alpar@40
   109
  Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40
   110
    if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40
   111
      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40
   112
    } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40
   113
      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40
   114
    } else {
alpar@40
   115
      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40
   116
    }
alpar@40
   117
  }
alpar@209
   118
kpeter@83
   119
  Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209
   120
kpeter@83
   121
  digraphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40
   122
    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83
   123
    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40
   124
    .run();
alpar@209
   125
\endcode
kpeter@83
   126
The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
alpar@40
   127
\e nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \e degree_map
kpeter@83
   128
and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83
   129
get the color of each node.
alpar@40
   130
alpar@40
   131
The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40
   132
case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50
   133
function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40
   134
\code
kpeter@83
   135
  Digraph graph;
kpeter@83
   136
kpeter@83
   137
  typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83
   138
  DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83
   139
  DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83
   140
kpeter@83
   141
  typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
alpar@40
   142
  TimeMap time(length, speed);
alpar@209
   143
kpeter@83
   144
  Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40
   145
  dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40
   146
\endcode
kpeter@83
   147
We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83
   148
The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83
   149
the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40
   150
class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40
   151
\c Dijkstra algorithm.

alpar@40
   222
kpeter@50
   223
The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single source and
kpeter@50
   224
a single target that is maximum. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
alpar@40
   225
directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity
alpar@40
   226
function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The
kpeter@50
   227
maximum flow is the \f$f_a\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
alpar@40
   228
alpar@40
   229
\f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]
alpar@210
   230
\f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv}
alpar@210
   231
\qquad \forall u \in V \setminus \{s,t\}\f]
alpar@40
   232
\f[ \max \sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(s)}f_{uv} - \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(s)}f_{vu}\f]
alpar@40
   233
kpeter@50
   234
LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:
alpar@209
   235

The minimum cut problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
alpar@40
   266
\f$X\f$ subset of the vertices with minimum overall capacity on
alpar@40
   267
outgoing arcs. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$ directed graph, an
alpar@40
   268
\f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
kpeter@50
   269
cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
alpar@40
   270
alpar@210
   271
\f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}

There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in

classes implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40
   503
alpar@40
   504
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@209
   505
alpar@40
   506
- These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order
alpar@40
   507
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@40
   508
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
alpar@40
   509
alpar@40
   510
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
alpar@40
   511
  implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@40
   512
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40
   513
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40
   514
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40
   515
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40
   516
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40
   517
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40
   518
alpar@40
   519
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50
   520
  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@40
   521
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@40
   522
alpar@40
   523
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
