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

63 @defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptor Classes for Graphs
65 \brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
67 This group describes some graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
68 These classes wrap graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it.
69 On the other hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.
75 \brief Map structures implemented in LEMON.
77 This group describes the map structures implemented in LEMON.
79 LEMON provides several special purpose maps and map adaptors that e.g. combine
80 new maps from existing ones.
82 <b>See also:</b> \ref map_concepts "Map Concepts".
86 @defgroup graph_maps Graph Maps
88 \brief Special graph-related maps.
90 This group describes maps that are specifically designed to assign
91 values to the nodes and arcs of graphs.
95 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
97 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
99 This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
100 maps from other maps.
102 Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
103 They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
104 (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
105 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
107 The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
108 algorithms. If a function type algorithm is called then the function
109 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
110 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
112 Color nodeColor(int deg) {
114 return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
115 } else if (deg == 1) {
116 return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
118 return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
122 Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
124 graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
125 .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
126 .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
129 The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
130 \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
131 and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
132 get the color of each node.
134 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
135 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
136 function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
140 typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
141 DoubleArcMap length(graph);
142 DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
144 typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
145 TimeMap time(length, speed);
147 Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
148 dijkstra.run(source, target);
150 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
151 The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
152 the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
153 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
154 \c Dijkstra algorithm.

162 This group describes two dimensional data storages implemented in LEMON.
166 @defgroup paths Path Structures
168 \brief Path structures implemented in LEMON.
170 This group describes the path structures implemented in LEMON.
172 LEMON provides flexible data structures to work with paths.
173 All of them have similar interfaces and they can be copied easily with
174 assignment operators and copy constructors. This makes it easy and
175 efficient to have e.g. the Dijkstra algorithm to store its result in
176 any kind of path structure.

217 @defgroup max_flow Maximum Flow Algorithms
219 \brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.
221 This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
222 feasible circulations.
224 The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single source and
225 a single target that is maximum. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
226 directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity
227 function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The
228 maximum flow is the \f$f_a\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
230 \f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]
231 \f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv}
232 \qquad \forall u \in V \setminus \{s,t\}\f]
233 \f[ \max \sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(s)}f_{uv} - \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(s)}f_{vu}\f]
235 LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:
236 - \ref lemon::EdmondsKarp "Edmonds-Karp"
237 - \ref lemon::Preflow "Goldberg's Preflow algorithm"
238 - \ref lemon::DinitzSleatorTarjan "Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic trees"
239 - \ref lemon::GoldbergTarjan "Preflow algorithm with dynamic trees"
241 In most cases the \ref lemon::Preflow "Preflow" algorithm provides the
242 fastest method to compute the maximum flow. All impelementations
243 provides functions to query the minimum cut, which is the dual linear
244 programming problem of the maximum flow.

258 @defgroup min_cut Minimum Cut Algorithms
261 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
263 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
265 The minimum cut problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
266 \f$X\f$ subset of the vertices with minimum overall capacity on
267 outgoing arcs. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$ directed graph, an
268 \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
269 cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
271 \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}
272 \sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}c_{uv}\f]
274 LEMON contains several algorithms related to minimum cut problems:
276 - \ref lemon::HaoOrlin "Hao-Orlin algorithm" to calculate minimum cut

279 calculate minimum cut in undirected graphs
280 - \ref lemon::GomoryHuTree "Gomory-Hu tree computation" to calculate all
281 pairs minimum cut in undirected graphs

312 @defgroup matching Matching Algorithms
314 \brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
316 This group contains algorithm objects and functions to calculate
317 matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
318 finding a subset of the arcs which does not shares common endpoints.
320 There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
321 graphs. The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
322 easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
323 can be the finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
324 matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
325 maximum cardinality matching.

486 \brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
488 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
489 classes implemented in LEMON.
491 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
493 - These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order
494 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
495 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
497 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
498 implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely
499 without implementations and real data structures behind the
500 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
501 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
502 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
503 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
504 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
506 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
507 that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
508 concept indeed provides all the required features.
510 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
