ferrotherm 0.29.0

//! **Exact** max-cut on a planar graph, in polynomial time.
//!
//! Every other solver here searches. This one does not: it computes the maximum cut of a planar
//! graph directly, in `O(n³)`, with no budget, no seed and no incumbent. That is not a better
//! heuristic — it is a different kind of answer, and it exists because max-cut is NP-hard **in
//! general** and polynomial **on a surface**.
//!
//! # A cut in the graph is a cycle in the dual
//!
//! Fix a planar embedding ([`crate::planar`]). Its faces are the vertices of the dual `G*`, and
//! each edge of `G` crosses exactly one edge of `G*`. Then, for any edge set `C ⊆ E`:
//!
//! > `C` is a cut of `G` **iff** the corresponding edges of `G*` meet every dual vertex an even
//! > number of times.
//!
//! Both directions are the same statement about parity: a cut crosses every cycle evenly, and the
//! cycles of `G*` are exactly the faces' boundaries. So maximising the cut is maximising the weight
//! of an even subgraph of `G*` — and taking complements turns "maximise an even subgraph" into
//! "minimise a `T`-join", with `T` the odd-degree dual vertices:
//!
//! ```text
//!   max-cut(G)  =  W  −  min { w(F) : F is a T-join of G* }
//! ```
//!
//! A minimum-weight `T`-join with non-negative weights is a minimum-weight perfect matching over
//! `T` under shortest-path distances ([`crate::matching`]), and the join is the symmetric
//! difference of the matched pairs' paths. Negative weights are handled exactly rather than
//! excluded: an edge of negative weight is taken into `F` up front, its weight added to the total,
//! its absolute value used from then on, and the parity requirement at **both** its endpoints
//! flipped to pay for having taken it.
//!
//! # It checks itself twice, and refuses rather than reporting
//!
//! Two invariants come free, and both are asserted before anything is returned:
//!
//! * **The recovered cut must two-colour.** The dual argument says the edge set is a cut, so
//!   walking the graph and flipping across cut edges must never contradict itself. If it does, the
//!   reduction went wrong somewhere and this returns [`Error::NotACut`].
//! * **The two ways of counting must agree.** `W − w(F)` is the value the `T`-join computed; the
//!   recovered state has a cut weight of its own. They are computed by disjoint code paths and must
//!   be equal.
//!
//! An exact solver whose only output is a number nobody can check is the worst thing in this
//! crate's problem domain, because every downstream comparison then inherits it silently.
//!
//! # What it will not do
//!
//! **Fields.** `E(s) = −Σ h_i s_i − Σ J_ij s_i s_j` with any `h_i ≠ 0` is not max-cut on this
//! graph; the standard trick adds an apex vertex joined to everything, and an apex vertex destroys
//! planarity for all but the smallest instances. Refused, rather than silently answering a
//! different question.
//!
//! **Non-integer weights.** [`crate::matching`] is exact only in exact arithmetic, and rounding a
//! weight here moves the optimum rather than the last digit. Weights are scaled by
//! [`Params::scale`] and must land on integers; the offending edge is named when they do not.
//!
//! **Toroidal graphs.** A periodic lattice is genus 1, and the reduction above is a plane
//! statement. `lattice2d` is a torus and is refused by the embedding, with the reason.
//!
//! ```
//! use ferrotherm::{planarcut, ising::grid2d};
//!
//! // A 4x4 grid ANTIferromagnet. The grid is bipartite, so every one of its 24 edges can be
//! // frustrated at once -- and under `w = -J` that is a cut of 24.
//! let g = grid2d(4, 4, -1.0);
//! let out = planarcut::solve(&g, &planarcut::Params::default()).expect("planar and integral");
//! assert_eq!(out.cut, 24.0);
//! assert_eq!(out.energy, -24.0);        // the proved MINIMUM energy
//! ```
