COIN-OR::LEMON - Graph Library

source: lemon-0.x/lemon/min_mean_cycle.h @ 2575:e866e288cba6

Last change on this file since 2575:e866e288cba6 was 2555:a84e52e99f57, checked in by Peter Kovacs, 16 years ago

Reimplemented MinMeanCycle? to be much more efficient.
The new version implements Howard's algorithm instead of Karp's algorithm and
it is at least 10-20 times faster on all the 40-50 random graphs we have tested.
