alpar@40: \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
alpar@40: 
alpar@209: The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
alpar@209: efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
alpar@209: planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
alpar@209: and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
alpar@40: usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
alpar@40: appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
alpar@40: limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
alpar@40: accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
alpar@40: the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
alpar@40: running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
kpeter@83: some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
alpar@40: 
alpar@209: Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
alpar@209: operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
alpar@209: In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
alpar@209: not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
kpeter@83: arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
alpar@209: this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
alpar@209: the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
alpar@209: is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
alpar@209: LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
alpar@209: \ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
alpar@209: in conjunction with other graph representations.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@40: the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
kpeter@314: with any graph structure.

kpeter@474: @defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs
deba@432: @ingroup graphs
kpeter@474: \brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
kpeter@474: 
kpeter@474: This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
deba@432: 
deba@432: The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
kpeter@474: graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
deba@432: adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
deba@432: latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
deba@432: which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
deba@432: 
deba@432: A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
kpeter@474: instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
deba@432: \code
deba@432: template <typename Digraph>
deba@432: int algorithm(const Digraph&);
deba@432: \endcode
deba@432: is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
deba@432: (in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
deba@432: arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
kpeter@474: to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
kpeter@474: The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
kpeter@474: methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
kpeter@474: have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
deba@432: actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
deba@432: graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
kpeter@474: obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
deba@432: considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
deba@432: To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
deba@432: \code
deba@432: template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
deba@432: \endcode
deba@432: template class can be used. The code looks as follows
deba@432: \code
deba@432: ListDigraph g;
kpeter@474: ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@432: int result = algorithm(rg);
deba@432: \endcode
kpeter@474: During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
kpeter@474: This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
deba@432: graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
deba@432: 
kpeter@474: In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
deba@432: graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
kpeter@474: this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
deba@432: a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
deba@432: obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
deba@432: detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
deba@432: 
deba@432: The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
deba@432: capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
kpeter@474: meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
kpeter@474: on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
kpeter@474: For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
kpeter@474: out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
kpeter@474: adaptor modifies the original digraph.
kpeter@474: However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
deba@432: 
deba@432: Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
kpeter@474: ReverseDigraph has constructor
deba@432: \code
deba@432: ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
deba@432: \endcode
kpeter@474: This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
deba@432: reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
kpeter@474: <tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
deba@432: \code
deba@432: int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
kpeter@474:   ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
deba@432:   return algorithm2(rg);
deba@432: }

alpar@40: \ingroup maps
alpar@40: \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
alpar@40: 
kpeter@606: This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
kpeter@50: maps from other maps.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@422: Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
kpeter@83: They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
kpeter@83: (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
kpeter@83: 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@50: The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
alpar@40: algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
alpar@40: type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
kpeter@314: usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40:   Color nodeColor(int deg) {
alpar@40:     if (deg >= 2) {
alpar@40:       return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
alpar@40:     } else if (deg == 1) {
alpar@40:       return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
alpar@40:     } else {
alpar@40:       return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
alpar@40:     }
alpar@40:   }

kpeter@83:   Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
alpar@209: 
kpeter@314:   graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
alpar@40:     .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
kpeter@83:     .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
alpar@40:     .run();
alpar@209: \endcode
kpeter@83: The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
kpeter@314: \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
kpeter@83: and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
kpeter@83: get the color of each node.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
alpar@40: case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
kpeter@50: function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
alpar@40: \code
kpeter@83:   Digraph graph;
kpeter@83: 
kpeter@83:   typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
kpeter@83:   DoubleArcMap length(graph);
kpeter@83:   DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
kpeter@83: 
kpeter@83:   typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;

kpeter@83:   Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
alpar@40:   dijkstra.run(source, target);
alpar@40: \endcode
kpeter@83: We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
kpeter@83: The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
kpeter@83: the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
alpar@40: class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
alpar@40: \c Dijkstra algorithm.

alpar@40: 
kpeter@422: The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between

kpeter@656: digraph, a \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and
kpeter@422: \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.

kpeter@50: \brief Algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and circulations.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@656: This group contains the algorithms for finding minimum cost flows and
alpar@209: circulations.
kpeter@422: 
kpeter@422: The \e minimum \e cost \e flow \e problem is to find a feasible flow of
kpeter@422: minimum total cost from a set of supply nodes to a set of demand nodes
kpeter@656: in a network with capacity constraints (lower and upper bounds)
kpeter@656: and arc costs.
kpeter@687: Formally, let \f$G=(V,A)\f$ be a digraph, \f$lower: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$,
kpeter@687: \f$upper: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\cup\{+\infty\}\f$ denote the lower and
kpeter@656: upper bounds for the flow values on the arcs, for which
kpeter@687: \f$lower(uv) \leq upper(uv)\f$ must hold for all \f$uv\in A\f$,
kpeter@687: \f$cost: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ denotes the cost per unit flow
kpeter@687: on the arcs and \f$sup: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ denotes the
kpeter@656: signed supply values of the nodes.
kpeter@656: If \f$sup(u)>0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a supply node with \f$sup(u)\f$
kpeter@656: supply, if \f$sup(u)<0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a demand node with
kpeter@656: \f$-sup(u)\f$ demand.
kpeter@687: A minimum cost flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ solution
kpeter@656: of the following optimization problem.
kpeter@422: 
kpeter@656: \f[ \min\sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) \cdot cost(uv) \f]
kpeter@656: \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) \geq
kpeter@656:     sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V \f]
kpeter@656: \f[ lower(uv) \leq f(uv) \leq upper(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]
kpeter@422: 
kpeter@656: The sum of the supply values, i.e. \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ must be
kpeter@656: zero or negative in order to have a feasible solution (since the sum
kpeter@656: of the expressions on the left-hand side of the inequalities is zero).
kpeter@656: It means that the total demand must be greater or equal to the total
kpeter@656: supply and all the supplies have to be carried out from the supply nodes,
kpeter@656: but there could be demands that are not satisfied.
kpeter@656: If \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ is zero, then all the supply/demand
kpeter@656: constraints have to be satisfied with equality, i.e. all demands
kpeter@656: have to be satisfied and all supplies have to be used.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: If you need the opposite inequalities in the supply/demand constraints
kpeter@656: (i.e. the total demand is less than the total supply and all the demands
kpeter@656: have to be satisfied while there could be supplies that are not used),
kpeter@656: then you could easily transform the problem to the above form by reversing
kpeter@656: the direction of the arcs and taking the negative of the supply values
kpeter@656: (e.g. using \ref ReverseDigraph and \ref NegMap adaptors).
kpeter@656: However \ref NetworkSimplex algorithm also supports this form directly
kpeter@656: for the sake of convenience.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: A feasible solution for this problem can be found using \ref Circulation.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: Note that the above formulation is actually more general than the usual
kpeter@656: definition of the minimum cost flow problem, in which strict equalities
kpeter@656: are required in the supply/demand contraints, i.e.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: \f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) =
kpeter@656:     sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V. \f]
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: However if the sum of the supply values is zero, then these two problems
kpeter@656: are equivalent. So if you need the equality form, you have to ensure this
kpeter@656: additional contraint for the algorithms.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: The dual solution of the minimum cost flow problem is represented by node 
kpeter@656: potentials \f$\pi: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$.
kpeter@687: An \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$ feasible solution of the problem
kpeter@656: is optimal if and only if for some \f$\pi: V\rightarrow\mathbf{Z}\f$
kpeter@656: node potentials the following \e complementary \e slackness optimality
kpeter@656: conditions hold.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656:  - For all \f$uv\in A\f$ arcs:
kpeter@656:    - if \f$cost^\pi(uv)>0\f$, then \f$f(uv)=lower(uv)\f$;
kpeter@656:    - if \f$lower(uv)<f(uv)<upper(uv)\f$, then \f$cost^\pi(uv)=0\f$;
kpeter@656:    - if \f$cost^\pi(uv)<0\f$, then \f$f(uv)=upper(uv)\f$.
kpeter@687:  - For all \f$u\in V\f$ nodes:
kpeter@656:    - if \f$\sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) \neq sup(u)\f$,
kpeter@656:      then \f$\pi(u)=0\f$.
kpeter@656:  
kpeter@656: Here \f$cost^\pi(uv)\f$ denotes the \e reduced \e cost of the arc
kpeter@687: \f$uv\in A\f$ with respect to the potential function \f$\pi\f$, i.e.
kpeter@656: \f[ cost^\pi(uv) = cost(uv) + \pi(u) - \pi(v).\f]
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@687: All algorithms provide dual solution (node potentials) as well,
kpeter@656: if an optimal flow is found.

kpeter@656: minimum cost flow problem, but CancelAndTighten and CycleCanceling
kpeter@656: only support the equality form due to the primal method they use.
kpeter@656: 
kpeter@656: In general NetworkSimplex is the most efficient implementation,
kpeter@656: but in special cases other algorithms could be faster.
kpeter@656: For example, if the total supply and/or capacities are rather small,
kpeter@656: CapacityScaling is usually the fastest algorithm (without effective scaling).

alpar@40: 
kpeter@606: This group contains the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
alpar@40: 
kpeter@422: The \e minimum \e cut \e problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
kpeter@422: \f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on

kpeter@422: \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
kpeter@50: cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:

alpar@210: \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}
kpeter@422:     \sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}cap(uv) \f]

kpeter@637: finding a subset of the edges for which each node has at most one incident

alpar@40:   without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@40:   interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@40:   the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@40:   should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@40:   of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@40:   doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
kpeter@50:   that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
