   119      \brief Push-relabel algorithm for the network circulation problem.
   120 
   121      \ingroup max_flow
   122      This class implements a push-relabel algorithm for the \e network
   123      \e circulation problem.
   124      It is to find a feasible circulation when lower and upper bounds
   125      are given for the flow values on the arcs and lower bounds are
   126      given for the difference between the outgoing and incoming flow
   127      at the nodes.
   128 
   129      The exact formulation of this problem is the following.
   130      Let \f$G=(V,A)\f$ be a digraph, \f$lower: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$
   131      \f$upper: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\cup\{\infty\}\f$ denote the lower and
   132      upper bounds on the arcs, for which \f$lower(uv) \leq upper(uv)\f$
   133      holds for all \f$uv\in A\f$, and \f$sup: V\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$
   134      denotes the signed supply values of the nodes.
   135      If \f$sup(u)>0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a supply node with \f$sup(u)\f$
   136      supply, if \f$sup(u)<0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a demand node with
   137      \f$-sup(u)\f$ demand.
   138      A feasible circulation is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$
   139      solution of the following problem.
   140 
   141      \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu)
   142      \geq sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V, \f]
   143      \f[ lower(uv) \leq f(uv) \leq upper(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A. \f]
   144 
   145      The sum of the supply values, i.e. \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ must be
   146      zero or negative in order to have a feasible solution (since the sum
   147      of the expressions on the left-hand side of the inequalities is zero).
   148      It means that the total demand must be greater or equal to the total
   149      supply and all the supplies have to be carried out from the supply nodes,
   150      but there could be demands that are not satisfied.
   151      If \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ is zero, then all the supply/demand
   152      constraints have to be satisfied with equality, i.e. all demands
   153      have to be satisfied and all supplies have to be used.
   154 
   155      If you need the opposite inequalities in the supply/demand constraints
   156      (i.e. the total demand is less than the total supply and all the demands
   157      have to be satisfied while there could be supplies that are not used),
   158      then you could easily transform the problem to the above form by reversing
   159      the direction of the arcs and taking the negative of the supply values
   160      (e.g. using \ref ReverseDigraph and \ref NegMap adaptors).
   161 
   162      This algorithm either calculates a feasible circulation, or provides
   163      a \ref barrier() "barrier", which prooves that a feasible soultion
   164      cannot exist.
   165 
   166      Note that this algorithm also provides a feasible solution for the
   167      \ref min_cost_flow "minimum cost flow problem".
   168 
   169      \tparam GR The type of the digraph the algorithm runs on.
   170      \tparam LM The type of the lower bound map. The default
   171      map type is \ref concepts::Digraph::ArcMap "GR::ArcMap<int>".
   172      \tparam UM The type of the upper bound (capacity) map.
   173      The default map type is \c LM.
   174      \tparam SM The type of the supply map. The default map type is
   175      \ref concepts::Digraph::NodeMap "GR::NodeMap<UM::Value>".
   176      \tparam TR The traits class that defines various types used by the
   177      algorithm. By default, it is \ref CirculationDefaultTraits
   178      "CirculationDefaultTraits<GR, LM, UM, SM>".
   179      In most cases, this parameter should not be set directly,
   180      consider to use the named template parameters instead.
