Entirely rework CapacityScaling (#180)

- Use the new interface similarly to NetworkSimplex.
- Rework the implementation using an efficient internal structure
for handling the residual network. This improvement made the
code much faster (up to 2-5 times faster on large graphs).
- Handle GEQ supply type (LEQ is not supported).
- Handle negative costs for arcs of finite capacity.
(Note that this algorithm cannot handle arcs of negative cost
and infinite upper bound, thus it returns UNBOUNDED if such
an arc exists.)
- Extend the documentation.

\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

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 maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between

   363
a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$

\f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
kpeter@656

The \e minimum \e mean \e cycle \e problem is to find a directed cycle
kpeter@815
   464
of minimum mean length (cost) in a digraph.
kpeter@815
   465
The mean length of a cycle is the average length of its arcs, i.e. the
kpeter@815
   466
ratio between the total length of the cycle and the number of arcs on it.
kpeter@815
   467
kpeter@815
   468
This problem has an important connection to \e conservative \e length
kpeter@815
   469
\e functions, too. A length function on the arcs of a digraph is called
kpeter@815
   470
conservative if and only if there is no directed cycle of negative total
kpeter@815
   471
length. For an arbitrary length function, the negative of the minimum
kpeter@815
   472
cycle mean is the smallest \f$\epsilon\f$ value so that increasing the
kpeter@815
   473
arc lengths uniformly by \f$\epsilon\f$ results in a conservative length
kpeter@815
   474
function.
kpeter@815
   475
kpeter@815
   476
LEMON contains three algorithms for solving the minimum mean cycle problem:
kpeter@818
   477
- \ref Karp "Karp"'s original algorithm \ref amo93networkflows,
kpeter@818
   478
  \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@815
   479
- \ref HartmannOrlin "Hartmann-Orlin"'s algorithm, which is an improved
kpeter@818
   480
  version of Karp's algorithm \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@818
   481
- \ref Howard "Howard"'s policy iteration algorithm
kpeter@818
   482
  \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.
kpeter@815
   483
kpeter@815
   484
In practice, the Howard algorithm proved to be by far the most efficient
kpeter@815
   485
one, though the best known theoretical bound on its running time is
kpeter@815
   486
exponential.
kpeter@815
   487
Both Karp and HartmannOrlin algorithms run in time O(ne) and use space
kpeter@815
   488
O(n<sup>2</sup>+e), but the latter one is typically faster due to the
kpeter@815
   489
applied early termination scheme.

There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in

easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization

can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost

\brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
alpar@40
   701
kpeter@606
   702
This group contains the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
alpar@40
   703
classes implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40
   704
alpar@40
   705
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@209
   706
kpeter@318
   707
- These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
alpar@40
   708
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@40
   709
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
alpar@40
   710
alpar@40
   711
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
kpeter@318
   712
  implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@40
   713
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40
   714
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40
   715
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40
   716
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40
   717
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40
   718
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40
   719
alpar@40
   720
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50
   721
  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@40
   722
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@40
   723
alpar@40
   724
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
