10 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
12 The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
13 efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
14 planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
15 and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
17 The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
18 usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
19 appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
20 limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
21 accessed. LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
22 the diverging requirements of the possible users. In order to save on
23 running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
24 some graph features like edge or node deletion.
26 Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
27 operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
28 In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
29 not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
30 edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
31 this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
32 the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
33 is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
34 LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
35 \ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
36 in conjunction with other graph representation.
38 You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
39 the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
40 with any graph structures.
44 @defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptors Classes for Graphs
46 \brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
48 Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors. These classes wrap
49 graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it. On the other
50 hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.
56 \brief Some special purpose map to make life easier.
58 LEMON provides several special maps that e.g. combine
59 new maps from existing ones.

65 \brief Special Graph-Related Maps.
67 These maps are specifically designed to assign values to the nodes and edges of
73 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
75 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
77 Map adaptors are used to create "implicit" maps from other maps.
79 Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "ReadMap"s. They can
80 make arithmetic operations between one or two maps (negation, scaling,
81 addition, multiplication etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one
82 of different Value type.

90 Two dimensional data storages.
94 @defgroup paths Path Structures
96 \brief Path structures implemented in LEMON.
98 LEMON provides flexible data structures
101 All of them have the same interface, especially they can be built or extended
102 using a standard Builder subclass. This make is easy to have e.g. the Dijkstra
103 algorithm to store its result in any kind of path structure.

311 @defgroup concept Concepts
312 \brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
314 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
315 classes implemented in LEMON.
317 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
319 - These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order
320 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
321 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
323 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
324 implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely
325 without implementations and real data structures behind the
326 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
327 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
328 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
329 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
330 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
332 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
333 that makes it possible check whether a certain implementation of a
334 concept indeed provides all the required features.
336 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
