/**

@defgroup graphs Graph Structures

@ingroup datas

\brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.

The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on

efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are

planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,

and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.

The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the

usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences

appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage

limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be

accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet

the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on

running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide

some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.

Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of

operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.

In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do

not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or

arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then

this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation

the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set

is to be shrunk for another algorithm.

LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called

\ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only

in conjunction with other graph representations.

You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements

the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used

with any graph structure.

/**

@defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs

@ingroup graphs

\brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs

This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.

The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic

graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph

adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the

latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes

which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.

A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an

instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm

\code

template <typename Digraph>

int algorithm(const Digraph&);

\endcode

is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive

(in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed

arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according

to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.

The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when

methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor

have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic

actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a

graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is

obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or

considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.

To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation

\code

template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;

\endcode

template class can be used. The code looks as follows

\code

ListDigraph g;

ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);

int result = algorithm(rg);

\endcode

During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.

This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable

graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.

In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual

graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing

this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,

a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be

obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the

detailed documentation of particular adaptors.

The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep

capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be

meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend

on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.

For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried

out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the

adaptor modifies the original digraph.

However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.

Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.

ReverseDigraph has constructor

\code

ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);

\endcode

This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>

reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with

<tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.

\code

int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {

  ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);

  return algorithm2(rg);

}

\endcode

values to the nodes and arcs/edges of graphs.

\c EdgeMap), see the \ref graph_concepts "Graph Structure Concepts".

*/

/**

\defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors

\ingroup maps

\brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones

This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"

maps from other maps.

Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".

They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps

(negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',

'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.

The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to

algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function

type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the

usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.

\code

  Color nodeColor(int deg) {

    if (deg >= 2) {

      return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);

    } else if (deg == 1) {

      return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);

    } else {

      return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

    }

  }

  Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);

  graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")

    .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()

    .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))

    .run();

\endcode

The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the

\c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map

and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to

get the color of each node.

The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this

case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the

function map adaptors give back temporary objects.

\code

  Digraph graph;

  typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;

  DoubleArcMap length(graph);

  DoubleArcMap speed(graph);

  typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;

  TimeMap time(length, speed);

  Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);

  dijkstra.run(source, target);

\endcode

We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.

The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of

the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template

class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the

\c Dijkstra algorithm.

\brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.

This group contains the algorithms for finding maximum flows and

The \e maximum \e flow \e problem is to find a flow of maximum value between

a single source and a single target. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$

digraph, a \f$cap: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function and

\f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target nodes.

A maximum flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ solution of the

following optimization problem.

\f[ \max\sum_{sv\in A} f(sv) - \sum_{vs\in A} f(vs) \f]

\f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) = \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu)

    \quad \forall u\in V\setminus\{s,t\} \f]

\f[ 0 \leq f(uv) \leq cap(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]

LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:

In most cases the \ref Preflow algorithm provides the

fastest method for computing a maximum flow. All implementations

also provide functions to query the minimum cut, which is the dual

problem of maximum flow.

The \e minimum \e cut \e problem is to find a non-empty and non-complete

\f$X\f$ subset of the nodes with minimum overall capacity on

outgoing arcs. Formally, there is a \f$G=(V,A)\f$ digraph, a

/**

@defgroup min_mean_cycle Minimum Mean Cycle Algorithms

@ingroup algs

\brief Algorithms for finding minimum mean cycles.

This group contains the algorithms for finding minimum mean cycles

\ref clrs01algorithms, \ref amo93networkflows.

The \e minimum \e mean \e cycle \e problem is to find a directed cycle

of minimum mean length (cost) in a digraph.

The mean length of a cycle is the average length of its arcs, i.e. the

ratio between the total length of the cycle and the number of arcs on it.

This problem has an important connection to \e conservative \e length

\e functions, too. A length function on the arcs of a digraph is called

conservative if and only if there is no directed cycle of negative total

length. For an arbitrary length function, the negative of the minimum

cycle mean is the smallest \f$\epsilon\f$ value so that increasing the

arc lengths uniformly by \f$\epsilon\f$ results in a conservative length

function.

LEMON contains three algorithms for solving the minimum mean cycle problem:

- \ref Karp "Karp"'s original algorithm \ref amo93networkflows,

  \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.

- \ref HartmannOrlin "Hartmann-Orlin"'s algorithm, which is an improved

  version of Karp's algorithm \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.

- \ref Howard "Howard"'s policy iteration algorithm

  \ref dasdan98minmeancycle.

In practice, the Howard algorithm proved to be by far the most efficient

one, though the best known theoretical bound on its running time is

exponential.

Both Karp and HartmannOrlin algorithms run in time O(ne) and use space

O(n<sup>2</sup>+e), but the latter one is typically faster due to the

applied early termination scheme.

  of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm

  doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.

- The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>

  that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a

  concept indeed provides all the required features.

- Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.

\page min_cost_flow Minimum Cost Flow Problem

\section mcf_def Definition (GEQ form)

The \e minimum \e cost \e flow \e problem is to find a feasible flow of

minimum total cost from a set of supply nodes to a set of demand nodes

in a network with capacity constraints (lower and upper bounds)

and arc costs \ref amo93networkflows.

Formally, let \f$G=(V,A)\f$ be a digraph, \f$lower: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$,

\f$upper: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\cup\{+\infty\}\f$ denote the lower and

upper bounds for the flow values on the arcs, for which

\f$lower(uv) \leq upper(uv)\f$ must hold for all \f$uv\in A\f$,

\f$cost: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$ denotes the cost per unit flow

on the arcs and \f$sup: V\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$ denotes the

signed supply values of the nodes.

If \f$sup(u)>0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a supply node with \f$sup(u)\f$

supply, if \f$sup(u)<0\f$, then \f$u\f$ is a demand node with

\f$-sup(u)\f$ demand.

A minimum cost flow is an \f$f: A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}\f$ solution

of the following optimization problem.

\f[ \min\sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) \cdot cost(uv) \f]

\f[ \sum_{uv\in A} f(uv) - \sum_{vu\in A} f(vu) \geq

    sup(u) \quad \forall u\in V \f]

\f[ lower(uv) \leq f(uv) \leq upper(uv) \quad \forall uv\in A \f]

The sum of the supply values, i.e. \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ must be

zero or negative in order to have a feasible solution (since the sum

of the expressions on the left-hand side of the inequalities is zero).

It means that the total demand must be greater or equal to the total

supply and all the supplies have to be carried out from the supply nodes,

but there could be demands that are not satisfied.

If \f$\sum_{u\in V} sup(u)\f$ is zero, then all the supply/demand

constraints have to be satisfied with equality, i.e. all demands

have to be satisfied and all supplies have to be used.

\section mcf_algs Algorithms

LEMON contains several algorithms for solving this problem, for more

information see \ref min_cost_flow_algs "Minimum Cost Flow Algorithms".

A feasible solution for this problem can be found using \ref Circulation.
