\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.

\brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
kpeter@474
    68
kpeter@474
    69
This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
deba@432
    70
deba@432
    71
The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
kpeter@474
    72
graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
deba@432
    73
adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
deba@432
    74
latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
deba@432
    75
which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
deba@432
    76
deba@432
    77
A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
kpeter@474
    78
instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
deba@432
    79
\code
deba@432
    80
template <typename Digraph>
deba@432
    81
int algorithm(const Digraph&);
deba@432
    82
\endcode
deba@432
    83
is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
deba@432
    84
(in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
deba@432
    85
arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
kpeter@474
    86
to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
kpeter@474
    87
The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
kpeter@474
    88
methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
kpeter@474
    89
have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
deba@432
    90
actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
deba@432
    91
graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
kpeter@474
    92
obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
deba@432
    93
considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
deba@432
    94
To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
deba@432
    95
\code
deba@432
    96
template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
deba@432
    97
\endcode
deba@432
    98
template class can be used. The code looks as follows
deba@432
    99
\code
deba@432
   100
ListDigraph g;
kpeter@474
   101
ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@432
   102
int result = algorithm(rg);
deba@432
   103
\endcode
kpeter@474
   104
During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
kpeter@474
   105
This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
deba@432
   106
graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
deba@432
   107
kpeter@474
   108
In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
deba@432
   109
graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
kpeter@474
   110
this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
deba@432
   111
a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
deba@432
   112
obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
deba@432
   113
detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
deba@432
   114
deba@432
   115
The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
deba@432
   116
capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
kpeter@474
   117
meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
kpeter@474
   118
on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
kpeter@474
   119
For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
kpeter@474
   120
out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
kpeter@474
   121
adaptor modifies the original digraph.
kpeter@474
   122
However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
deba@432
   123
deba@432
   124
Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
kpeter@474
   125
ReverseDigraph has constructor
deba@432
   126
\code
deba@432
   127
ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
deba@432
   128
\endcode
kpeter@474
   129
This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
deba@432
   130
reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
kpeter@474
   131
<tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
deba@432
   132
\code
deba@432
   133
int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
kpeter@474
   134
  ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@432
   135
  return algorithm2(rg);
deba@432
   136
}
deba@432
   137
\endcode

   169
kpeter@606
   170
This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50
   171
maps from other maps.
alpar@40
   172
kpeter@422
   173
Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83
   174
They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83
   175
(negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83
   176
'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40
   177
kpeter@50
   178
The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40
   179
algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40
   180
type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@314
   181
usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
alpar@40
   182
\code
alpar@40
   183
  Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40
   184
    if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40
   185
      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40
   186
    } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40
   187
      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40
   188
    } else {
alpar@40
   189
      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40
   190
    }
alpar@40
   191
  }
alpar@209
   192
kpeter@83
   193
  Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209
   194
kpeter@314
   195
  graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40
   196
    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83
   197
    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40
   198
    .run();
alpar@209
   199
\endcode
kpeter@83
   200
The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
kpeter@314
   201
\c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
kpeter@83
   202
and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83
   203
get the color of each node.
alpar@40
   204
alpar@40
   205
The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40
   206
case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50
   207
function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40
   208
\code
kpeter@83
   209
  Digraph graph;
kpeter@83
   210
kpeter@83
   211
  typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83
   212
  DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83
   213
  DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83
   214
kpeter@83
   215
  typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
alpar@40
   216
  TimeMap time(length, speed);
alpar@209
   217
kpeter@83
   218
  Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40
   219
  dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40
   220
\endcode
kpeter@83
   221
We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83
   222
The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83
   223
the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40
   224
class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40
   225
\c Dijkstra algorithm.

The \e minimum \e cut \e problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
kpeter@422
   339
\f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on
kpeter@422
   340
outgoing arcs. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$ digraph, a
kpeter@422
   341
\f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
kpeter@50
   342
cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
alpar@40
   343
alpar@210
   344
\f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}
kpeter@422
   345

This group contains the algorithms for calculating matchings in graphs.
kpeter@843
   376
The general matching problem is finding a subset of the edges for which
kpeter@843
   377
each node has at most one incident edge.
alpar@209
   378
alpar@40
   379
There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
kpeter@843
   380
graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
kpeter@422
   381
can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
alpar@40
   382
matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
alpar@40
   383
maximum cardinality matching.

alpar@40
   526
alpar@40
   527
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@209
   528
kpeter@318
   529
- These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
alpar@40
   530
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@40
   531
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
alpar@40
   532
alpar@40
   533
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
kpeter@318
   534
  implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@40
   535
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40
   536
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40
   537
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40
   538
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40
   539
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40
   540
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40
   541
alpar@40
   542
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50
   543
  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@40
   544
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@40
   545
alpar@40
   546
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
