\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.

    12
The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on 
marci@1172
    13
efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are 
marci@1172
    14
planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies, 
marci@1172
    15
and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications. 
alpar@430
    16
marci@1172
    17
The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences appear in the size of 
marci@1172
    18
graph we require to handle, memory or time usage limitations or in 
marci@1172
    19
the set of operations through which the graph can be accessed. 
marci@1172
    20
LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet the 
marci@1172
    21
diverging requirements of the possible users. 
marci@1172
    22
In order to save on running time or on memory usage, some structures may 
marci@1172
    23
fail to provide some graph features like edge or node deletion.
marci@1172
    24
marci@1172
    25
Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of 
marci@1172
    26
operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements. 
marci@1172
    27
In the case of graph strutures, different operations are needed which do 
marci@1172
    28
not alter the physical graph, but gives an other view. If some nodes or 
marci@1172
    29
edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then 
marci@1172
    30
this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implemenation 
marci@1172
    31
the residual graph can be accessed by an other algorithm, or a node-set 
marci@1172
    32
is to be shrunk for an other algorithm. 
marci@1172
    33
LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called 
marci@1172
    34
\ref gwrappers "graph wrappers". Wrappers cannot be used alone but only 
marci@1172
    35
in conjunction with other graph representation. 
alpar@430
    36
alpar@678
    37
You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@678
    38
the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
marci@1172
    39
with any graph structures.
