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

177 LEMON provides flexible data structures to work with paths.
178 All of them have similar interfaces and they can be copied easily with
179 assignment operators and copy constructors. This makes it easy and
180 efficient to have e.g. the Dijkstra algorithm to store its result in
181 any kind of path structure.

235 @defgroup max_flow Maximum Flow Algorithms
237 \brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.
239 This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
240 feasible circulations.
242 The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between
243 a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$
244 digraph, a \f$cap:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
245 \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.
246 A maximum flow is an \f$f:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the
247 following optimization problem.
249 \f[ \max\sum_{a\in\delta_{out}(s)}f(a) - \sum_{a\in\delta_{in}(s)}f(a) \f]
250 \f[ \sum_{a\in\delta_{out}(v)} f(a) = \sum_{a\in\delta_{in}(v)} f(a)
251 \qquad \forall v\in V\setminus\{s,t\} \f]
252 \f[ 0 \leq f(a) \leq cap(a) \qquad \forall a\in A \f]
254 LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:
255 - \ref EdmondsKarp Edmonds-Karp algorithm.
256 - \ref Preflow Goldberg-Tarjan's preflow push-relabel algorithm.
257 - \ref DinitzSleatorTarjan Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic trees.
258 - \ref GoldbergTarjan Preflow push-relabel algorithm with dynamic trees.
260 In most cases the \ref Preflow "Preflow" algorithm provides the
261 fastest method for computing a maximum flow. All implementations
262 provides functions to also query the minimum cut, which is the dual
263 problem of the maximum flow.
267 @defgroup min_cost_flow Minimum Cost Flow Algorithms
270 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and circulations.
272 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and
275 The \e minimum \e cost \e flow \e problem is to find a feasible flow of
276 minimum total cost from a set of supply nodes to a set of demand nodes
277 in a network with capacity constraints and arc costs.
278 Formally, let \f$G=(V,A)\f$ be a digraph,
279 \f$lower, upper: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ denote the lower and
280 upper bounds for the flow values on the arcs,
281 \f$cost: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}^+_0\f$ denotes the cost per unit flow
283 \f$supply: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ denotes the supply/demand values
285 A minimum cost flow is an \f$f:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of
286 the following optimization problem.
288 \f[ \min\sum_{a\in A} f(a) cost(a) \f]
289 \f[ \sum_{a\in\delta_{out}(v)} f(a) - \sum_{a\in\delta_{in}(v)} f(a) =
290 supply(v) \qquad \forall v\in V \f]
291 \f[ lower(a) \leq f(a) \leq upper(a) \qquad \forall a\in A \f]

304 @defgroup min_cut Minimum Cut Algorithms
307 \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
309 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
311 The \e minimum \e cut \e problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
312 \f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on
313 outgoing arcs. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$ digraph, a
314 \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
315 cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:
317 \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}
318 \sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}cap(uv) \f]
320 LEMON contains several algorithms related to minimum cut problems:
322 - \ref HaoOrlin "Hao-Orlin algorithm" for calculating minimum cut

325 calculating minimum cut in undirected graphs.
326 - \ref GomoryHuTree "Gomory-Hu tree computation" for calculating
327 all-pairs minimum cut in undirected graphs.

358 @defgroup matching Matching Algorithms
360 \brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
362 This group contains algorithm objects and functions to calculate
363 matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
364 finding a subset of the arcs which does not shares common endpoints.
366 There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
367 graphs. The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
368 easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
369 can be finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
370 matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
371 maximum cardinality matching.
373 The matching algorithms implemented in LEMON:
374 - \ref MaxBipartiteMatching Hopcroft-Karp augmenting path algorithm
375 for calculating maximum cardinality matching in bipartite graphs.

546 \brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
548 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
549 classes implemented in LEMON.
551 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
553 - These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
554 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
555 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
557 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
558 implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
559 without implementations and real data structures behind the
560 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
561 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
562 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
563 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
564 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
566 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
567 that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
568 concept indeed provides all the required features.
570 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
