21 This group describes the several graph structures implemented in LEMON.
25 @defgroup graphs Graph Structures
27 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
29 The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
30 efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
31 planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
32 and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
34 The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
35 usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
36 appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
37 limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
38 accessed. LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
39 the diverging requirements of the possible users. In order to save on
40 running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
41 some graph features like edge or node deletion.
43 Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
44 operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
45 In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
46 not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
47 edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
48 this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
49 the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
50 is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
51 LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
52 \ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
53 in conjunction with other graph representation.
55 You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
56 the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
57 with any graph structures.
61 @defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptors Classes for Graphs
63 \brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.
65 Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors. These classes wrap
66 graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it. On the other
67 hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.
73 \brief Some special purpose map to make life easier.
75 LEMON provides several special maps that e.g. combine
76 new maps from existing ones.
80 @defgroup graph_maps Graph Maps
82 \brief Special Graph-Related Maps.
84 These maps are specifically designed to assign values to the nodes and edges of
90 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
92 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
94 Map adaptors are used to create "implicit" maps from other maps.
96 Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "ReadMap"s. They can
97 make arithmetic operations between one or two maps (negation, scaling,
98 addition, multiplication etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one
99 of different Value type.
101 The typical usage of this classes is the passing implicit maps to
102 algorithms. If a function type algorithm is called then the function
103 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
104 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function:
106 Color nodeColor(int deg) {
108 return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
109 } else if (deg == 1) {
110 return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
112 return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
116 Graph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
118 graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
119 .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
120 .nodeColors(composeMap(functorMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
123 The \c functorMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
124 \e nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \e degree_map
125 and the previous created map. The composed map is proper function to
126 get color of each node.
128 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
129 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
130 function map adaptors give back temporarly objects.
134 typedef Graph::EdgeMap<double> DoubleEdgeMap;
135 DoubleEdgeMap length(graph);
136 DoubleEdgeMap speed(graph);
138 typedef DivMap<DoubleEdgeMap, DoubleEdgeMap> TimeMap;
140 TimeMap time(length, speed);
142 Dijkstra<Graph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
143 dijkstra.run(source, target);
146 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on a graph. The minimum
147 time to pass the edge can be calculated as the division of the two
148 maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
149 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
150 \c Dijkstra algorithm.

172 any kind of path structure.

221 \brief This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows.
223 This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and
224 feasible circulations.
226 The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single-source and
227 single-target that is maximum. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$
228 directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity
229 function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The
230 maximum flow is the solution of the next optimization problem:
232 \f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]
233 \f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv} \quad u \in V \setminus \{s,t\}\f]
234 \f[ \max \sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(s)}f_{uv} - \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(s)}f_{vu}\f]
236 The lemon contains several algorithms for solve maximum flow problems:
237 - \ref lemon::EdmondsKarp "Edmonds-Karp"

239 - \ref lemon::DinitzSleatorTarjan "Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic tree"
240 - \ref lemon::GoldbergTarjan "Preflow algorithm with dynamic trees"
242 In most cases the \ref lemon::Preflow "preflow" algorithm provides the
243 fastest method to compute the maximum flow. All impelementations
244 provides functions for query the minimum cut, which is the dual linear
245 programming probelm of the maximum flow.

267 This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.
269 The minimum cut problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete
270 \f$X\f$ subset of the vertices with minimum overall capacity on
271 outgoing arcs. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$ directed graph, an
272 \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum
273 cut is the solution of the next optimization problem:
275 \f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}\sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}c_{uv}\f]

318 \brief This group describes the algorithms
319 for find matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.
321 This group provides some algorithm objects and function to calculate
322 matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is
323 finding a subset of the edges which does not shares common endpoints.
325 There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in
326 graphs. The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally
327 easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization
328 can be the finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost
329 matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or
330 maximum cardinality matching.

521 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
522 classes implemented in LEMON.
524 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
526 - These classes contain the documentations of the concepts. In order
527 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
528 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
530 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
531 implementation of the concepts should provide, however completely
532 without implementations and real data structures behind the
533 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
534 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
535 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
536 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
537 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
539 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
540 that makes it possible check whether a certain implementation of a
541 concept indeed provides all the required features.
543 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
