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 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 edges 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 structures.
61 @defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptor Classes for Graphs
63 \brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
65 This group describes some graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
66 These classes wrap graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it.
67 On the other hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.
73 \brief Map structures implemented in LEMON.
75 This group describes the map structures implemented in LEMON.
77 LEMON provides several special purpose maps that e.g. combine
78 new maps from existing ones.
82 @defgroup graph_maps Graph Maps
84 \brief Special Graph-Related Maps.
86 This group describes maps that are specifically designed to assign
87 values to the nodes and edges of graphs.
92 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
94 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
96 This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
99 Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "ReadMap"s. They can
100 make arithmetic operations between one or two maps (negation, scaling,
101 addition, multiplication etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one
102 of different Value type.
104 The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
105 algorithms. If a function type algorithm is called then the function
106 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
107 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function:
109 Color nodeColor(int deg) {
111 return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
112 } else if (deg == 1) {
113 return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
115 return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
119 Graph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
121 graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
122 .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
123 .nodeColors(composeMap(functorMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
126 The \c functorMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
127 \e nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \e degree_map
128 and the previous created map. The composed map is proper function to
129 get color of each node.
131 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
132 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
133 function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
137 typedef Graph::EdgeMap<double> DoubleEdgeMap;
138 DoubleEdgeMap length(graph);
139 DoubleEdgeMap speed(graph);
141 typedef DivMap<DoubleEdgeMap, DoubleEdgeMap> TimeMap;
143 TimeMap time(length, speed);
145 Dijkstra<Graph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
146 dijkstra.run(source, target);
149 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on a graph. The minimum
150 time to pass the edge can be calculated as the division of the two
151 maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
152 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
153 \c Dijkstra algorithm.

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

218 @defgroup max_flow Maximum Flow algorithms
220 \brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.
222 This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
223 feasible circulations.
225 The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single source and
226 a single target that is maximum. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
227 directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity
228 function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The
229 maximum flow is the \f$f_a\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
231 \f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]
232 \f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv} \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.

259 @defgroup min_cut Minimum Cut algorithms
262 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
264 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
266 The minimum cut problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
267 \f$X\f$ subset of the vertices with minimum overall capacity on
268 outgoing arcs. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$ directed graph, an
269 \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
270 cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
272 \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}\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 edges 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.

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