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.

@defgroup semi_adaptors Semi-Adaptor Classes for Graphs

@ingroup graphs

\brief Graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.

This group describes some graph types between real graphs and graph adaptors.

These classes wrap graphs to give new functionality as the adaptors do it.

On the other hand they are not light-weight structures as the adaptors.

@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.

@defgroup min_cut Minimum Cut algorithms

@ingroup algs

\brief Algorithms for finding minimum cut in graphs.

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:

- \ref lemon::HaoOrlin "Hao-Orlin algorithm" to calculate minimum cut

  in directed graphs

- \ref lemon::NagamochiIbaraki "Nagamochi-Ibaraki algorithm" to

  calculate minimum cut in undirected graphs

- \ref lemon::GomoryHuTree "Gomory-Hu tree computation" to calculate all

  pairs minimum cut in undirected graphs

If you want to find minimum cut just between two distinict nodes,

please see the \ref max_flow "Maximum Flow page".

@defgroup matching Matching algorithms

@ingroup algs

\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.

LEMON contains the next algorithms:

- \ref lemon::MaxBipartiteMatching "MaxBipartiteMatching" Hopcroft-Karp

  augmenting path algorithm for calculate maximum cardinality matching in

  bipartite graphs

  and maximum weighted bipartite matching in bipartite graph
