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

65 @defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs
67 \brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
69 This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
71 The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
72 graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
73 adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
74 latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
75 which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
77 A short example makes this much clearer. Suppose that we have an
78 instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
80 template <typename Digraph>
81 int algorithm(const Digraph&);
83 is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph. It may be expensive
84 (in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
85 arcs. In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
86 to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
87 The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
88 methods of the reversed oriented graph are called. This means that the adaptor
89 have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
90 actions. The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
91 graph have to be used in a specific alteration. If this alteration is
92 obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
93 considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
94 To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
96 template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
98 template class can be used. The code looks as follows
101 ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
102 int result = algorithm(rg);
104 During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
105 This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
106 graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
108 In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
109 graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
110 this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
111 a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
112 obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
113 detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
115 The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
116 capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
117 meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
118 on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
119 For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
120 out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
121 adaptor modifies the original digraph.
122 However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
124 Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
125 ReverseDigraph has constructor
127 ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
129 This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
130 reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
131 <tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
133 int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
134 ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
135 return algorithm2(rg);
141 @defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptor Classes for Graphs
143 \brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
145 This group describes some graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
146 These classes wrap graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it.
147 On the other hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.
153 \brief Map structures implemented in LEMON.
155 This group describes the map structures implemented in LEMON.
157 LEMON provides several special purpose maps and map adaptors that e.g. combine
158 new maps from existing ones.
160 <b>See also:</b> \ref map_concepts "Map Concepts".
164 @defgroup graph_maps Graph Maps
166 \brief Special graph-related maps.
168 This group describes maps that are specifically designed to assign
169 values to the nodes and arcs/edges of graphs.
171 If you are looking for the standard graph maps (\c NodeMap, \c ArcMap,
172 \c EdgeMap), see the \ref graph_concepts "Graph Structure Concepts".
176 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
178 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
180 This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
181 maps from other maps.
183 Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
184 They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
185 (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
186 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
188 The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
189 algorithms. If a function type algorithm is called then the function
190 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
191 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
193 Color nodeColor(int deg) {
195 return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
196 } else if (deg == 1) {
197 return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
199 return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
203 Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
205 graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
206 .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
207 .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
210 The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
211 \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
212 and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
213 get the color of each node.
215 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
216 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
217 function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
221 typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
222 DoubleArcMap length(graph);
223 DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
225 typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
226 TimeMap time(length, speed);
228 Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
229 dijkstra.run(source, target);
231 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
232 The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
233 the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
234 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
235 \c Dijkstra algorithm.

253 LEMON provides flexible data structures to work with paths.
254 All of them have similar interfaces and they can be copied easily with
255 assignment operators and copy constructors. This makes it easy and

305 not contain directed cycles with negative total length.

307 arc-disjoint paths between two nodes having minimum total length.
311 @defgroup max_flow Maximum Flow Algorithms
313 \brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.
315 This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
316 feasible circulations.
318 The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between
319 a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
320 digraph, a \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
321 \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
322 A maximum flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the
323 following optimization problem.
325 \f[ \max\sum_{sv\in A} f(sv) - \sum_{vs\in A} f(vs) \f]
326 \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) = \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu)
327 \quad \forall u\in V\setminus\{s,t\} \f]
328 \f[ 0 \leq f(uv) \leq cap(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]
330 LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:
331 - \ref EdmondsKarp Edmonds-Karp algorithm.
332 - \ref Preflow Goldberg-Tarjan's preflow push-relabel algorithm.
333 - \ref DinitzSleatorTarjan Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic trees.
334 - \ref GoldbergTarjan Preflow push-relabel algorithm with dynamic trees.
336 In most cases the \ref Preflow "Preflow" algorithm provides the
337 fastest method for computing a maximum flow. All implementations
338 provides functions to also query the minimum cut, which is the dual
339 problem of the maximum flow.
343 @defgroup min_cost_flow Minimum Cost Flow Algorithms
346 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and circulations.
348 This group contains the algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and
351 The \e minimum \e cost \e flow \e problem is to find a feasible flow of
352 minimum total cost from a set of supply nodes to a set of demand nodes
353 in a network with capacity constraints (lower and upper bounds)
355 Formally, let \f$G=(V,A)\f$ be a digraph,
356 \f$lower, upper: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ denote the lower and
357 upper bounds for the flow values on the arcs, for which
358 \f$0 \leq lower(uv) \leq upper(uv)\f$ holds for all \f$uv\in A\f$.
359 \f$cost: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ denotes the cost per unit flow
360 on the arcs, and \f$sup: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ denotes the
361 signed supply values of the nodes.
362 If \f$sup(u)>0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a supply node with \f$sup(u)\f$
363 supply, if \f$sup(u)<0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a demand node with
364 \f$-sup(u)\f$ demand.
365 A minimum cost flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ solution
366 of the following optimization problem.
368 \f[ \min\sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) \cdot cost(uv) \f]
369 \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) \geq
370 sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V \f]
371 \f[ lower(uv) \leq f(uv) \leq upper(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]
373 The sum of the supply values, i.e. \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ must be
374 zero or negative in order to have a feasible solution (since the sum
375 of the expressions on the left-hand side of the inequalities is zero).
376 It means that the total demand must be greater or equal to the total
377 supply and all the supplies have to be carried out from the supply nodes,
378 but there could be demands that are not satisfied.
379 If \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ is zero, then all the supply/demand
380 constraints have to be satisfied with equality, i.e. all demands
381 have to be satisfied and all supplies have to be used.
383 If you need the opposite inequalities in the supply/demand constraints
384 (i.e. the total demand is less than the total supply and all the demands
385 have to be satisfied while there could be supplies that are not used),
386 then you could easily transform the problem to the above form by reversing
387 the direction of the arcs and taking the negative of the supply values
388 (e.g. using \ref ReverseDigraph and \ref NegMap adaptors).
389 However \ref NetworkSimplex algorithm also supports this form directly
390 for the sake of convenience.
392 A feasible solution for this problem can be found using \ref Circulation.
394 Note that the above formulation is actually more general than the usual
395 definition of the minimum cost flow problem, in which strict equalities
396 are required in the supply/demand contraints, i.e.
398 \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) =
399 sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V. \f]
401 However if the sum of the supply values is zero, then these two problems
402 are equivalent. So if you need the equality form, you have to ensure this
403 additional contraint for the algorithms.
405 The dual solution of the minimum cost flow problem is represented by node
406 potentials \f$\pi: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$.
407 An \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ feasible solution of the problem
408 is optimal if and only if for some \f$\pi: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$
409 node potentials the following \e complementary \e slackness optimality
412 - For all \f$uv\in A\f$ arcs:
413 - if \f$cost^\pi(uv)>0\f$, then \f$f(uv)=lower(uv)\f$;
414 - if \f$lower(uv)<f(uv)<upper(uv)\f$, then \f$cost^\pi(uv)=0\f$;
415 - if \f$cost^\pi(uv)<0\f$, then \f$f(uv)=upper(uv)\f$.
416 - For all \f$u\in V\f$:
417 - if \f$\sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) \neq sup(u)\f$,
420 Here \f$cost^\pi(uv)\f$ denotes the \e reduced \e cost of the arc
421 \f$uv\in A\f$ with respect to the node potentials \f$\pi\f$, i.e.
422 \f[ cost^\pi(uv) = cost(uv) + \pi(u) - \pi(v).\f]
424 All algorithms provide dual solution (node potentials) as well
425 if an optimal flow is found.
427 LEMON contains several algorithms for solving minimum cost flow problems.
428 - \ref NetworkSimplex Primal Network Simplex algorithm with various
430 - \ref CostScaling Push-Relabel and Augment-Relabel algorithms based on
432 - \ref CapacityScaling Successive Shortest %Path algorithm with optional
434 - \ref CancelAndTighten The Cancel and Tighten algorithm.
435 - \ref CycleCanceling Cycle-Canceling algorithms.
437 Most of these implementations support the general inequality form of the
438 minimum cost flow problem, but CancelAndTighten and CycleCanceling
439 only support the equality form due to the primal method they use.
441 In general NetworkSimplex is the most efficient implementation,
442 but in special cases other algorithms could be faster.
443 For example, if the total supply and/or capacities are rather small,
444 CapacityScaling is usually the fastest algorithm (without effective scaling).
448 @defgroup min_cut Minimum Cut Algorithms
451 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
453 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
455 The \e minimum \e cut \e problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
456 \f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on
457 outgoing arcs. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$ digraph, a
458 \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
459 cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
461 \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}
462 \sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}cap(uv) \f]
464 LEMON contains several algorithms related to minimum cut problems:

504 \brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
506 This group contains algorithm objects and functions to calculate
507 matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
508 finding a subset of the arcs which does not shares common endpoints.
510 There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
511 graphs. The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
512 easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
513 can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
514 matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or

690 \brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
692 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
693 classes implemented in LEMON.
695 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
697 - These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
698 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
699 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
701 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
702 implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
703 without implementations and real data structures behind the
704 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
705 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
706 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
707 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
708 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
710 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
711 that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
712 concept indeed provides all the required features.
714 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
