LEMON

Library of Efficient Models and Optimization in Networks

LEMON is the abbreviation of Library of Efficient Models

and Optimization in Networks. It is an open source

library written in C++. It provides a set of easy-to-use

implementation of common data structures and algorithms

in the area of optimization and helps implementing new

ones. It is an especially suitable tool to solve the

design and optimization problems of telecommunications

networks. To achieve wide usability, a fundamental design

requirement is the genericity of interface of data

structures and algorithms. Lemon is intended to become an

open source library in order to involve people all around

the world in its development.

The subdirectories 'autopackage', 'build-aux' and 'm4' are

needed by installation. In subdirectory 'benchmark'

programs can be found that observe the performance of LEMON.

Subdirectory 'demo' contains some demonstration programs to

make you easier to getting familiar with LEMON. Documentation

of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'doc'. Source code of

LEMON is in subdirectory 'lemon'. Some useful scripts related

to the usage of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'scripts'.

In subdirectory 'test' you can find some programs, proofing

you the correctness of some implementations.
