|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | <b>LEMON</b> stands for <b>L</b>ibrary of <b>E</b>fficient <b>M</b>odels and |
|---|
| 25 | <b>O</b>ptimization in <b>N</b>etworks. It is a C++ template |
|---|
| 26 | library aimed at combinatorial optimization tasks, especially those |
|---|
| 27 | working with graphs and networks. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | <b>LEMON is an <a class="el" href="http://opensource.org/">open source</a> |
|---|
| 30 | project. |
|---|
| 31 | You are free to use it in your commercial or non-commercial applications |
|---|
| 32 | under very permissive \ref license "license terms".</b> |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | This library helps to write programs that solve optimization problems |
|---|
| 35 | that arise frequently when designing and testing certain networks, |
|---|
| 36 | for example in telecommunication, computer networks, logistics, scheduling, |
|---|
| 37 | and other areas. |
|---|
| 38 | A very natural way of modelling these networks is by means of a graph. |
|---|
| 39 | Generally if you want to write any program that works with graphs, |
|---|
| 40 | then you might find it useful and convenient to use LEMON. |
|---|

| 45 | \section intro_tutorial LEMON Tutorial |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | This tutorial introduces the reader to the basic concepts and features of |
|---|
| 48 | LEMON, and there are also some sections about advanced topics showing the |
|---|
| 49 | power of various tools implemented in the library. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | After getting familiar with the basics of the library, you may start using |
|---|
| 52 | LEMON with the help of the detailed documentation (that can also be used |
|---|
| 53 | as a reference manual). |
