    29 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
    30 
    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.
    35 
    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.
    44 
    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.
    56 
    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
    66 @ingroup graphs
    67 \brief This group contains several adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
    68 
    69 The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
    70 graph algorithms, graph concepts which couple these, and graph
    71 adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
    72 latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
    73 which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
    74 
    75 A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
    76 instance \c g of a directed graph type say ListDigraph and an algorithm
    77 \code
    78 template <typename Digraph>
    79 int algorithm(const Digraph&);
    80 \endcode
    81 is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
    82 (in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
    83 arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
    84 to LEMON digraph concepts) works as a digraph.  The adaptor uses the
    85 original digraph structure and digraph operations when methods of the
    86 reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor have
    87 minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
    88 actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
    89 graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
    90 obtained by a usual construction like filtering the arc-set or
    91 considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
    92 To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
    93 \code
    94 template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
    95 \endcode
    96 template class can be used. The code looks as follows
    97 \code
    98 ListDigraph g;
    99 ReverseDigraph<ListGraph> rg(g);
   100 int result = algorithm(rg);
   101 \endcode
   102 After running the algorithm, the original graph \c g is untouched.
   103 This techniques gives rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
   104 graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
   105 
   106 In flow, circulation and bipartite matching problems, the residual
   107 graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
   108 this, shortest path algorithms and minimum mean cycle algorithms,
   109 a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
   110 obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
   111 detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
   112 
   113 The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
   114 capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
   115 meaningless. This means that the concepts that they are models of depend
   116 on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph(s).
   117 If an arc of \c rg is deleted, this is carried out by deleting the
   118 corresponding arc of \c g, thus the adaptor modifies the original graph.
   119 
   120 But for a residual graph, this operation has no sense.
   121 Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
   122 RevGraphAdaptor has constructor
   123 \code
   124 ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
   125 \endcode
   126 This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const ListDigraph&</tt>
   127 reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
   128 <tt>Digraph=const ListDigraph</tt>.
   129 \code
   130 int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
   131   RevGraphAdaptor<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
   132   return algorithm2(rg);
   133 }
   134 \endcode

   154 LEMON provides several special purpose maps and map adaptors that e.g. combine
   155 new maps from existing ones.

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

   314 
   315 The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between

   317 digraph, a \f$cap:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
   318 \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
   319 A maximum flow is an \f$f:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the
   320 following optimization problem.
   321 
   322 \f[ \max\sum_{a\in\delta_{out}(s)}f(a) - \sum_{a\in\delta_{in}(s)}f(a) \f]

   623 
   624 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
   625 
   626 - These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
   627   to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
   628   simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
   629 
   630 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
   631   implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
   632   without implementations and real data structures behind the
   633   interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
   634   the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
   635   should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
   636   of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
   637   doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
   638 
   639 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
   640   that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
   641   concept indeed provides all the required features.
   642 
   643 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
