+\brief Algorithms for finding minimum mean cycles.
+
+This group contains the algorithms for finding minimum mean cycles.
+
+The \e minimum \e mean \e cycle \e problem is to find a directed cycle
+of minimum mean length (cost) in a digraph.
+The mean length of a cycle is the average length of its arcs, i.e. the
+ratio between the total length of the cycle and the number of arcs on it.
+
+This problem has an important connection to \e conservative \e length
+\e functions, too. A length function on the arcs of a digraph is called
+conservative if and only if there is no directed cycle of negative total
+length. For an arbitrary length function, the negative of the minimum
+cycle mean is the smallest \f$\epsilon\f$ value so that increasing the
+arc lengths uniformly by \f$\epsilon\f$ results in a conservative length
+function.
+
+LEMON contains three algorithms for solving the minimum mean cycle problem:
+- \ref Karp "Karp"'s original algorithm.
+- \ref HartmannOrlin "Hartmann-Orlin"'s algorithm, which is an improved
+  version of Karp's algorithm.
+- \ref Howard "Howard"'s policy iteration algorithm.
+
+In practice, the Howard algorithm proved to be by far the most efficient
+one, though the best known theoretical bound on its running time is
+exponential.
+Both Karp and HartmannOrlin algorithms run in time O(ne) and use space
+O(n<sup>2</sup>+e), but the latter one is typically faster due to the
+applied early termination scheme.
