Bfs< GR, TR > Class Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<typename GR, typename TR>
class lemon::Bfs< GR, TR >

This class provides an efficient implementation of the BFS algorithm.

There is also a function-type interface for the BFS algorithm, which is convenient in the simplier cases and it can be used easier.

Template Parameters
GRThe type of the digraph the algorithm runs on. The default type is ListDigraph.

#include <lemon/bfs.h>

Execution Control

The simplest way to execute the BFS algorithm is to use one of the member functions called run().
If you need more control on the execution, first you have to call init(), then you can add several source nodes with addSource(). Finally the actual path computation can be performed with one of the start() functions.

void addSource (Node s)
 Adds a new source node.
 
Node processNextNode ()
 Processes the next node.
 
Node processNextNode (Node target, bool &reach)

bool emptyQueue () const

gThe digraph the algorithm runs on.

Member Function Documentation

Bfs& predMap ( PredMap m)
inline

Sets the map that stores the predecessor arcs. If you don't use this function before calling run() or init(), an instance will be allocated automatically. The destructor deallocates this automatically allocated map, of course.

Returns
(*this)
Bfs& reachedMap ( ReachedMap m)
inline

Sets the map that indicates which nodes are reached. If you don't use this function before calling run() or init(), an instance will be allocated automatically. The destructor deallocates this automatically allocated map, of course.

Returns
(*this)
Bfs& processedMap ( ProcessedMap m)
inline

Sets the map that indicates which nodes are processed. If you don't use this function before calling run() or init(), an instance will be allocated automatically. The destructor deallocates this automatically allocated map, of course.

Returns
(*this)
Bfs& distMap ( DistMap m)
inline

Sets the map that stores the distances of the nodes calculated by the algorithm. If you don't use this function before calling run() or init(), an instance will be allocated automatically. The destructor deallocates this automatically allocated map, of course.

Returns
(*this)
void init ( )
inline

Initializes the internal data structures.

void addSource ( Node  s)
inline

Adds a new source node to the set of nodes to be processed.

Node processNextNode ( )

Returns
The processed node.
Precondition
The queue must not be empty.
Node processNextNode ( Node  target,
bool &  reach

inline

Processes the next node and checks if the given target node is reached. If the target node is reachable from the processed node, then the reach parameter will be set to true.

Parameters
targetThe target node.
Return values
reachIndicates if the target node is reached. It should be initially false.
Returns
The processed node.
Precondition
The queue must not be empty.
Node processNextNode ( const NM &  nm,
Node &  rnode

inline

Processes the next node and checks if at least one of reached nodes has true value in the nm node map. If one node with true value is reachable from the processed node, then the rnode parameter will be set to the first of such nodes.

Parameters
nmA bool (or convertible) node map that indicates the possible targets.
Return values
rnodeThe reached target node. It should be initially INVALID.
Returns
The processed node.
Precondition

int queueSize ( ) const
inline

Returns the number of the nodes to be processed in the queue.

void start ( )
inline

  • the shortest path tree (forest),
  • the distance of each node from the root(s).
Precondition
