@defgroup graphs Graph Structures

\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.

The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on 

efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are 

planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies, 

and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications. 

The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the

usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences

appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage

limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be

accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet

the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on

running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide

some graph features like edge or node deletion.

Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of 

operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements. 

In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do 

not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or 

edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then 

this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation 

the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set 

is to be shrunk for another algorithm. 

LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called 

\ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only 

in conjunction with other graph representation. 

You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements

the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used

with any graph structures.

addition, multiplication etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one

@defgroup concept Concepts

\brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes

This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking

classes implemented in LEMON.

The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.

- These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order

  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept

  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.

- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an

  implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely

  without implementations and real data structures behind the

  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All

  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept

  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,

  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm

  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.

- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>

  that makes it possible check whether a certain implementation of a

  concept indeed provides all the required features.

- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
