\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
alpar@430
    28
marci@1172
    29
The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on 
marci@1172
    30
efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are 
marci@1172
    31
planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies, 
marci@1172
    32
and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications. 
alpar@430
    33
deba@2084
    34
The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
deba@2084
    35
usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
deba@2084
    36
appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
deba@2084
    37
limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
deba@2084
    38
accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
deba@2084
    39
the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
deba@2084
    40
running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
deba@2084
    41
some graph features like edge or node deletion.
marci@1172
    42
marci@1172
    43
Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of 
marci@1172
    44
operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements. 
alpar@2117
    45
In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do 
alpar@2006
    46
not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or 
marci@1172
    47
edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then 
alpar@2117
    48
this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation 
alpar@2006
    49
the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set 
alpar@2006
    50
is to be shrunk for another algorithm. 
marci@1172
    51
LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called 
alpar@1401
    52
\ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only 
marci@1172
    53
in conjunction with other graph representation. 
alpar@430
    54
alpar@678
    55
You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
alpar@678
    56
the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
marci@1172
    57
with any graph structures.

\brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
alpar@1402
    93
alpar@1402
    94
Map adaptors are used to create "implicit" maps from other maps.
alpar@1402
    95
alpar@2260
    96
Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "ReadMap"s. They can
alpar@2117
    97
make arithmetic operations between one or two maps (negation, scaling,
alpar@1402
    98
addition, multiplication etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one
alpar@1402
    99
of different Value type.
deba@2489
   100
deba@2489
   101
The typical usage of this classes is the passing implicit maps to
deba@2489
   102
algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
deba@2489
   103
type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
deba@2489
   104
usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function:
deba@2489
   105
\code
deba@2489
   106
  Color nodeColor(int deg) {
deba@2489
   107
    if (deg >= 2) {
deba@2489
   108
      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
deba@2489
   109
    } else if (deg == 1) {
deba@2489
   110
      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
deba@2489
   111
    } else {
deba@2489
   112
      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
deba@2489
   113
    }
deba@2489
   114
  }
deba@2489
   115
  
deba@2489
   116
  Graph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
deba@2489
   117
  
deba@2489
   118
  graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
deba@2489
   119
    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
deba@2489
   120
    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorMap(nodeColor), degree_map)) 
deba@2489
   121
    .run();
deba@2489
   122
\endcode 
deba@2489
   123
The \c functorMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
deba@2489
   124
\e nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \e degree_map
deba@2489
   125
and the previous created map. The composed map is proper function to
deba@2489
   126
get color of each node.
deba@2489
   127
deba@2489
   128
The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
deba@2489
   129
case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
deba@2489
   130
function map adaptors give back temporarly objects.
deba@2489
   131
\code
deba@2489
   132
  Graph graph;
deba@2489
   133
  
deba@2489
   134
  typedef Graph::EdgeMap<double> DoubleEdgeMap;
deba@2489
   135
  DoubleEdgeMap length(graph);
deba@2489
   136
  DoubleEdgeMap speed(graph);
deba@2489
   137
  
deba@2489
   138
  typedef DivMap<DoubleEdgeMap, DoubleEdgeMap> TimeMap;
deba@2489
   139
  
deba@2489
   140
  TimeMap time(length, speed);
deba@2489
   141
  
deba@2489
   142
  Dijkstra<Graph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
deba@2489
   143
  dijkstra.run(source, target);
deba@2489
   144
\endcode
deba@2489
   145
deba@2489
   146
We have a length map and a maximum speed map on a graph. The minimum
deba@2489
   147
time to pass the edge can be calculated as the division of the two
deba@2489
   148
maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
deba@2489
   149
class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
deba@2489
   150
\c Dijkstra algorithm.

deba@2060
   225
deba@2514
   226
The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single-source and
deba@2514
   227
single-target that is maximum. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$
deba@2514
   228
directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity
deba@2514
   229
function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The
deba@2514
   230
maximum flow is the solution of the next optimization problem:
deba@2514
   231
deba@2514
   232
\f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]
deba@2514
   233
\f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv} \quad u \in V \setminus \{s,t\}\f]
deba@2514
   234
\f[ \max \sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(s)}f_{uv} - \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(s)}f_{vu}\f]
deba@2514
   235
deba@2514
   236
The lemon contains several algorithms for solve maximum flow problems:

   241
deba@2514
   242
In most cases the \ref lemon::Preflow "preflow" algorithm provides the
deba@2514
   243
fastest method to compute the maximum flow. All impelementations
deba@2514
   244

klao@1030

alpar@2117
   495
The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
alpar@2117
   496
 
alpar@2117
   497
- These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order
alpar@2117
   498
  to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
alpar@2117
   499
  simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
klao@1030
   500
alpar@2233
   501
- These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
alpar@2117
   502
  implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely
alpar@2117
   503
  without implementations and real data structures behind the
alpar@2117
   504
  interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
alpar@2117
   505
  the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
alpar@2117
   506
  should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
alpar@2117
   507
  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
alpar@2117
   508
  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
alpar@2117
   509
alpar@2233
   510
- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
alpar@2117
   511
  that makes it possible check whether a certain implementation of a
alpar@2117
   512
  concept indeed provides all the required features.
alpar@2117
   513
alpar@2117
   514
- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
