  /// This algorithm is a specialized version of the linear programming

  /// simplex method directly for the minimum cost flow problem.

  /// It is one of the most efficient solution methods.

  ///

  /// In general this class is the fastest implementation available

  /// in LEMON for the minimum cost flow problem.

  /// Moreover it supports both directions of the supply/demand inequality

  /// constraints. For more information see \ref SupplyType.

  ///

  /// Most of the parameters of the problem (except for the digraph)

  /// can be given using separate functions, and the algorithm can be

  /// executed using the \ref run() function. If some parameters are not

  /// specified, then default values will be used.

  /// \tparam GR The digraph type the algorithm runs on.

  /// \tparam V The value type used for flow amounts, capacity bounds

  /// and supply values in the algorithm. By default it is \c int.

  /// \tparam C The value type used for costs and potentials in the

  /// algorithm. By default it is the same as \c V.

  ///

  /// \warning Both value types must be signed and all input data must

  /// be integer.

  /// implementations, from which the most efficient one is used

  /// by default. For more information see \ref PivotRule.
