safegraph 0.1.0

A type-safe, scope-aware graph library that leverages Rust's type system to prevent common graph-related bugs at compile time
Documentation
//! # Feedback Arc Set
//!
//! Computes a greedy minimum feedback arc set using the Eades-Lin-Smyth
//! heuristic. A *feedback arc set* is a set of edges whose removal makes
//! the graph acyclic. This greedy approach does not guarantee a minimum-size
//! result but runs in linear time and works well in practice.
//!
//! ## Components
//!
//! - [`GreedyFeedbackArcSet`] -- iterator that lazily yields backward edges forming the feedback set
//! - [`greedy_feedback_arc_set`] -- safe constructor (requires `StableEdge`)
//!
//! ## Algorithm
//!
//! ```text
//!   Eades-Lin-Smyth heuristic:
//!
//!   1. Build a left-right linear ordering of the nodes:
//!      - Maintain two sequences: left_s and right_s.
//!      - Repeatedly:
//!        a. Remove all sinks (out-degree 0) and prepend them to right_s.
//!        b. Remove all sources (in-degree 0) and append them to left_s.
//!        c. If nodes remain, pick the node with max (out_degree - in_degree),
//!           append it to left_s, and remove it from the graph.
//!      - Final ordering = left_s ++ right_s.
//!
//!   2. Assign each node a position in this ordering.
//!
//!   3. Iterate over all edges (u, v):
//!      - If position(u) >= position(v), the edge goes "backward"
//!        in the ordering and is part of the feedback arc set.
//!
//!   Example cycle: 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 0
//!   Ordering might be [0, 1, 2].
//!   Edge 2->0 goes backward => feedback arc set = {2->0}.
//! ```
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use safegraph::BTreeGraph;
//! use safegraph::graph::{Graph, GraphOperation};
//! use safegraph::algo::feedback_arc_set::greedy_feedback_arc_set;
//!
//! let mut g = BTreeGraph::<u32, &str>::default();
//! g.insert_node(0).unwrap();
//! g.insert_node(1).unwrap();
//! g.insert_node(2).unwrap();
//! g.insert_edge("a", [0, 1]).unwrap();
//! g.insert_edge("b", [1, 2]).unwrap();
//! g.insert_edge("c", [2, 0]).unwrap(); // back-edge closing the cycle
//!
//! let fas: Vec<_> = greedy_feedback_arc_set(&g).collect();
//! // Removing the yielded edge(s) breaks all cycles.
//! assert_eq!(fas.len(), 1);
//! ```
