Installation Instructions

=========================

   Since you are reading this I assume you already obtained one of the release

tarballs and successfully extracted it. The latest version of LEMON is

available at our web page (http://lemon.cs.elte.hu/).

   In order to install LEMON from the extracted source tarball you have to

issue the following commands:

   1. `cd lemon-x.y.z'

      This command changes to the directory which was created when you

      extracted the sources. The x.y.z part is a version number.

   2. `./configure'

      This command runs the configure shell script, which does some checks and

      creates the makefiles.

   3. `make'

      This command compiles the non-template part of LEMON into libemon.a

   4. `make check'

      This step is optional, but recommended. It runs the test programs that

      we developed for LEMON to check whether the library works properly on

      your platform.

   5. `make install'

      This command installs LEMON under /usr/local (you will need root

      privileges to be able to do that). If you want to install it to some

      other location, then pass the --prefix=DIRECTORY flag to configure in

      step 2. For example: `./configure --prefix=/home/username/lemon'.

   6. `make install-html'

      This command installs the documentation under share/doc/lemon/docs. The

      generated documentation is included in the tarball. If you want to

      generate it yourself, then run `make html'. Note that for this you need

      to have the following programs installed: Doxygen, Graphviz, Ghostscript,

      Latex.

Configure Options and Variables

===============================

   In step 2 you can customize the actions of configure by setting variables

and passing options to it. This can be done like this:

`./configure [OPTION]... [VARIABLE=VALUE]...'

CXX='comp'

  Change the C++ compiler to 'comp'.

CXXFLAGS='flags'

  Pass the 'flags' to the compiler. For example CXXFLAGS='-O3 -march=pentium-m'

  turns on generation of aggressively optimized Pentium-M specific code.

--prefix=PREFIX

  Set the installation prefix to PREFIX. By default it is /usr/local.

--enable-demo

   Build the examples in the demo subdirectory.

--disable-demo

   Do not build the examples in the demo subdirectory (default).

--enable-tools

   Build the programs in the tools subdirectory (default).

--disable-tools

   Do not build the programs in the tools subdirectory.

--with-glpk[=PREFIX]

   Enable GLPK support (default). You should specify the prefix too if

   you installed GLPK to some non-standard location (e.g. your home

   directory). If it is not found, GLPK support will be disabled.

--with-glpk-includedir=DIR

   The directory where the GLPK header files are located. This is only

   useful when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same

   prefix (which is unlikely).

--with-glpk-libdir=DIR

   The directory where the GLPK libraries are located. This is only

   useful when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same

   prefix (which is unlikely).

--without-glpk

   Disable GLPK support.

--with-cplex[=PREFIX]

   Enable CPLEX support (default). You should specify the prefix too

   if you installed CPLEX to some non-standard location

   (e.g. /opt/ilog/cplex75). If it is not found, CPLEX support will be

   disabled.

--with-cplex-includedir=DIR

   The directory where the CPLEX header files are located. This is

   only useful when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the

   same prefix (e.g.  /usr/local/cplex/cplex75/include).

--with-cplex-libdir=DIR

   The directory where the CPLEX libraries are located. This is only

   useful when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the same

   prefix (e.g.

   /usr/local/cplex/cplex75/lib/i86_linux2_glibc2.2_gcc3.0/static_pic_mt).

--without-cplex

   Disable CPLEX support.

--with-soplex[=PREFIX]

   Enable SoPlex support (default). You should specify the prefix too if

   you installed SoPlex to some non-standard location (e.g. your home

   directory). If it is not found, SoPlex support will be disabled.

--with-soplex-includedir=DIR

   The directory where the SoPlex header files are located. This is only

   useful when the SoPlex headers and libraries are not under the same

   prefix (which is unlikely).

--with-soplex-libdir=DIR

   The directory where the SoPlex libraries are located. This is only

   useful when the SoPlex headers and libraries are not under the same

   prefix (which is unlikely).

--without-soplex

   Disable SoPlex support.

/**

@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.

/**

values to the nodes and arcs of graphs.

*/

/**

\defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors

\ingroup maps

\brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones

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

maps from other maps.

Most of them are \ref lemon::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.

@defgroup max_flow Maximum Flow Algorithms

@ingroup algs

\brief Algorithms for finding maximum flows.

This group describes the algorithms for finding maximum flows and

feasible circulations.

The maximum flow problem is to find a flow between a single source and

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

directed graph, an \f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity

function and given \f$s, t \in V\f$ source and target node. The

maximum flow is the \f$f_a\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:

\f[ 0 \le f_a \le c_a \f]

\f[ \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(u)}f_{vu}=\sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(u)}f_{uv}

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

\f[ \max \sum_{v\in\delta^{+}(s)}f_{uv} - \sum_{v\in\delta^{-}(s)}f_{vu}\f]

LEMON contains several algorithms for solving maximum flow problems:

- \ref lemon::EdmondsKarp "Edmonds-Karp"

- \ref lemon::Preflow "Goldberg's Preflow algorithm"

- \ref lemon::DinitzSleatorTarjan "Dinitz's blocking flow algorithm with dynamic trees"

- \ref lemon::GoldbergTarjan "Preflow algorithm with dynamic trees"

In most cases the \ref lemon::Preflow "Preflow" algorithm provides the

fastest method to compute the maximum flow. All impelementations

provides functions to query the minimum cut, which is the dual linear

programming problem of the maximum flow.

This group describes the algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.

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

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

outgoing arcs. Formally, there is \f$G=(V,A)\f$ directed graph, an

\f$c_a:A\rightarrow\mathbf{R}^+_0\f$ capacity function. The minimum

cut is the \f$X\f$ solution of the next optimization problem:

\f[ \min_{X \subset V, X\not\in \{\emptyset, V\}}

\sum_{uv\in A, u\in X, v\not\in X}c_{uv}\f]

LEMON contains several algorithms related to minimum cut problems:

\brief Algorithms for finding matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs.

This group contains algorithm objects and functions to calculate

matchings in graphs and bipartite graphs. The general matching problem is

finding a subset of the arcs which does not shares common endpoints.

There are several different algorithms for calculate matchings in

graphs.  The matching problems in bipartite graphs are generally

easier than in general graphs. The goal of the matching optimization

can be the finding maximum cardinality, maximum weight or minimum cost

matching. The search can be constrained to find perfect or

maximum cardinality matching.

  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.
