KarpMmc< GR, CM, TR > Class Template Reference
Minimum Mean Cycle Algorithms

## Detailed Description

### template<typename GR, typename CM, typename TR>
class lemon::KarpMmc< GR, CM, TR >

This class implements Karp's algorithm for finding a directed cycle of minimum mean cost in a digraph [21], [9]. It runs in time O(nm) and uses space O(n2+m).

Template Parameters

  GR | The type of the digraph the algorithm runs on.
  CM | The type of the cost map. The default map type is GR::ArcMap<int>.
  TR | The traits class that defines various types used by the algorithm. By default, it is KarpMmcDefaultTraits<GR, CM>. In most cases, this parameter should not be set directly, consider to use the named template parameters instead.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef TR::LargeCost LargeCost

The large cost type used for internal computations. By default, it is `long` `long` if the `Cost` type is integer, otherwise it is `double`.

typedef TR::Path Path

The path type of the found cycles. Using the default traits class, it is Path<Digraph>.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KarpMmc | ( | const Digraph & | digraph,
|  | const CostMap & | cost
| ) |  |
| inline

The constructor of the class.

Parameters

  digraph | The digraph the algorithm runs on.
  cost | The costs of the arcs.

## Member Function Documentation

KarpMmc& cycle | ( | Path & | path | ) |
| inline

This function sets an external path structure for storing the found cycle.

If you don't call this function before calling run() or findCycleMean(), a local path structure will be allocated. The destuctor deallocates this automatically allocated object, of course.

Note
  The algorithm calls only the addFront() function of the given path structure.

Returns
  `(*this)`

KarpMmc& tolerance | ( | const Tolerance & | tolerance | ) |
| inline

This function sets the tolerance object used by the algorithm.

Returns
  `(*this)`

const Tolerance& tolerance | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

This function returns a const reference to the tolerance object used by the algorithm.

bool run | ( |  | ) |
| inline

This function runs the algorithm. It can be called more than once (e.g. if the underlying digraph and/or the arc costs have been modified).

Returns
  `true` if a directed cycle exists in the digraph.

Note
  `mmc.run()` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * return mmc.findCycleMean() && mmc.findCycle();
  *

bool findCycleMean | ( |  | ) |
| inline

This function finds the minimum mean cost of the directed cycles in the digraph.

Returns
  `true` if a directed cycle exists in the digraph.

bool findCycle | ( |  | ) |
| inline

This function finds a directed cycle of minimum mean cost in the digraph using the data computed by findCycleMean().

Returns
  `true` if a directed cycle exists in the digraph.

Precondition
  findCycleMean() must be called before using this function.

Cost cycleCost | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

This function returns the total cost of the found cycle.

Precondition
  run() or findCycleMean() must be called before using this function.

int cycleSize | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

This function returns the number of arcs on the found cycle.

Precondition
  run() or findCycleMean() must be called before using this function.

double cycleMean | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

This function returns the mean cost of the found cycle.

Note
  `alg.cycleMean()` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * return static_cast<double>(alg.cycleCost()) / alg.cycleSize();
  *

Precondition
  run() or findCycleMean() must be called before using this function.

const Path& cycle | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

This function returns a const reference to the path structure storing the found cycle.

Precondition
  run() or findCycle() must be called before using this function.
