Detailed Description

A utility class for searching through all possible gluing permutation sets that correspond to a given triangle edge pairing.

In the future, there may be subclasses of GluingPermSearcher<2> that correspond to specialised search algorithms for use in certain scenarios. The main class GluingPermSearcher<2> offers a default search algorithm that may be used in a general context.

The simplest way of performing a search through all possible gluing permutations is by calling the static method findAllPerms(). This will examine the search parameters and ensure that the best possible algorithm is used. For finer control over the program flow, the static method bestSearcher() can be used to create a search manager of the most suitable class and then runSearch() can be called on this object directly. For absolute control, a specific algorithm can be forced by explicitly constructing an object of the corresponding class (and again calling runSearch() on that object directly).

This class is designed to manage the construction of a large census of triangulations, and so it does not support copying, moving or swapping.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ ActionWrapper

using regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::ActionWrapper = std::function<void(const GluingPerms<2>&)>
protected

The type used to hold the user's action function and arguments when enumerating gluing permutations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GluingPermSearcher() [1/2]

regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::GluingPermSearcher ( FacetPairing< 2 >  pairing,
FacetPairing< 2 >::IsoList  autos,
bool  orientableOnly 
)

Initialises a new search for gluing permutation sets.

The search is started by calling runSearch(). Note that the static method findAllPerms() handles both construction and searching, and is the preferred entry point for end users.

The arguments to this constructor describe the search parameters in detail.

Precondition
The given edge pairing is connected, i.e., it is possible to reach any triangle from any other triangle via a series of matched edge pairs.
The given edge pairing is in canonical form as described by FacetPairing<2>::isCanonical(). Note that all edge pairings constructed by FacetPairing<2>::findAllPairings() are of this form.
Parameters
pairingthe specific pairing of triangle edges that the generated permutation sets will complement.
autosthe collection of isomorphisms that define equivalence of permutation sets. These are used by runSearch(), which produces each permutation set precisely once up to equivalence. These isomorphisms must all be automorphisms of the given edge pairing, and will generally be the set of all such automorphisms (which you can generate via pairing.findAutomorphisms()).
orientableOnlytrue if only gluing permutations corresponding to orientable triangulations should be generated, or false if no such restriction should be imposed.

◆ GluingPermSearcher() [2/2]

regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::GluingPermSearcher ( std::istream &  in)

Initialises a new search manager based on data read from the given input stream.

This may be a new search or a partially completed search.

This routine reads data in the format written by dumpData(). If you wish to read data whose precise class is unknown, consider using dumpTaggedData() and fromTaggedData() instead.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Exceptions
InvalidInputThe data found in the input stream is invalid, incomplete, or incorrectly formatted.
Python
Not present. This constructor is fundamentally designed around working through a single input stream as we make our way from base class constructors down to subclass constructors. Python users should use taggedData() and fromTaggedData() instead, which incorporate this same text data as part of their richer text format.
Parameters
inthe input stream from which to read.

◆ ~GluingPermSearcher()

virtual regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::~GluingPermSearcher ( )
virtual

Destroys this search manager and all supporting data structures.

Member Function Documentation

◆ bestSearcher()

std::unique_ptr< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > > regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::bestSearcher ( FacetPairing< 2 >  pairing,
FacetPairing< 2 >::IsoList  autos,
bool  orientableOnly 
)
inlinestatic

Constructs a search manager of the best possible class for the given search parameters.

Different subclasses of GluingPermSearcher<2> provide optimised search algorithms for different types of search.

Calling this routine and then calling runSearch() on the result has the same effect as the all-in-one routine findAllPerms(). Unless you have specialised requirements (such as partial searching), you are probably better calling findAllPerms() instead.

See the GluingPermSearcher<2> constructor for documentation on the arguments to this routine.

Precondition
The given edge pairing is connected, i.e., it is possible to reach any triangle from any other triangle via a series of matched edge pairs.
The given edge pairing is in canonical form as described by FacetPairing<2>::isCanonical(). Note that all edge pairings constructed by FacetPairing<2>::findAllPairings() are of this form.
Returns
the new search manager.

◆ data()

std::string regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::data ( ) const
inline

Returns all internal data in a plain text format.

This object can be recreated from this text data by calling the input stream constructor for the appropriate class.

This routine may be useful for transferring objects from one processor to another.

If subclasses override this function, they should write subclass data after superclass data. This means it is safe to dump data from a subclass and then recreate a new superclass object from that data (though subclass-specific information will be lost).

This routine returns the same information that dumpData() writes.

The key difference between data() and taggedData() is that taggedData() preserves all internal information even if this object belongs to a subclass of GluingPermSearcher, whereas data() only writes information pertaining to this base class.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Python
This routine is available, but the matching input stream constructor is not. Python users should use taggedData() and fromTaggedData() instead.
Returns
all of this object's internal data in plain text format.

◆ dataTagInternal()

char regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::dataTagInternal ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns the character used to identify this class when storing tagged data in text format.

Returns
the class tag.

◆ detail()

std::string regina::Output< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > , supportsUtf8 >::detail ( ) const
inherited

Returns a detailed text representation of this object.

This text may span many lines, and should provide the user with all the information they could want. It should be human-readable, should not contain extremely long lines (which cause problems for users reading the output in a terminal), and should end with a final newline. There are no restrictions on the underlying character set.

Returns
a detailed text representation of this object.

◆ dumpData()

virtual void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::dumpData ( std::ostream &  out) const
virtual

Dumps all internal data in a plain text format to the given output stream.

This object can be recreated from this text data by calling the input stream constructor for the appropriate class.

This routine may be useful for transferring objects from one processor to another.

If subclasses override this function, they should write subclass data after superclass data. This means it is safe to dump data from a subclass and then recreate a new superclass object from that data (though subclass-specific information will be lost).

This routine outputs the same information that data() returns.

The key difference between dumpData() and dumpTaggedData() is that dumpTaggedData() preserves all internal information even if this object belongs to a subclass of GluingPermSearcher, whereas dumpData() only writes information pertaining to this base class.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Python
Not present. You can instead use data(), which returns this same information as a string. However, the matching input stream constructor is not available in Python either, so it is recommended that Python users use taggedData() and fromTaggedData() instead.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which the data should be written.

◆ dumpTaggedData()

void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::dumpTaggedData ( std::ostream &  out) const
inline

Dumps all internal data in a plain text format, along with a marker to signify which precise class the data belongs to.

This routine can be used with fromTaggedData() to transport objects from place to place whose precise class is unknown.

This routine outputs the same information that taggedData() returns.

The key difference between dumpData() and dumpTaggedData() is that dumpTaggedData() preserves all internal information even if this object belongs to a subclass of GluingPermSearcher, whereas dumpData() only writes information pertaining to this base class.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Python
Not present. Instead use taggedData(), which returns this same information as a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which the data should be written.

◆ findAllPerms()

template<typename Action , typename... Args>
void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::findAllPerms ( FacetPairing< 2 >  pairing,
FacetPairing< 2 >::IsoList  autos,
bool  orientableOnly,
Action &&  action,
Args &&...  args 
)
static

The main entry routine for running a search for all gluing permutation sets that complement a given edge pairing.

This routine examines the search parameters, chooses the best possible search algorithm, constructs an object of the corresponding subclass of GluingPermSearcher<2> and then calls runSearch().

See the GluingPermSearcher<2> constructor for documentation on the arguments to this routine. See the runSearch() method for documentation on how the search runs and returns its results via action and args.

Precondition
The given edge pairing is connected, i.e., it is possible to reach any triangle from any other triangle via a series of matched edge pairs.
The given edge pairing is in canonical form as described by FacetPairing<2>::isCanonical(). Note that all edge pairings constructed by FacetPairing<2>::findAllPairings() are of this form.
Python
This function is available, and action may be a pure Python function. However, action cannot take any additional arguments beyond the initial gluing permutation set (and therefore the additional args list is omitted here).

◆ fromTaggedData() [1/2]

std::unique_ptr< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > > regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::fromTaggedData ( const std::string &  data)
inlinestatic

Creates a new search manager based on tagged data stored in the given string.

This may be a new search or a partially completed search.

The tagged data should be in the format returned by taggedData(). The precise class of the search manager will be determined from the tagged data, and does not need to be known in advance. This is in contrast to dumpData() and the input stream constructors, where the class of the data being read must be known at compile time.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe data found in the given string is invalid, incomplete, or incorrectly formatted.
Parameters
datathe tagged data from which to reconstruct a search manager.
Returns
the new search manager, or null if the data in the given string was invalid or incorrectly formatted.

◆ fromTaggedData() [2/2]

std::unique_ptr< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > > regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::fromTaggedData ( std::istream &  in)
inlinestatic

Creates a new search manager based on tagged data read from the given input stream.

This may be a new search or a partially completed search.

The tagged data should be in the format written by dumpTaggedData(). The precise class of the search manager will be determined from the tagged data, and does not need to be known in advance. This is in contrast to dumpData() and the input stream constructors, where the class of the data being read must be known at compile time.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Exceptions
InvalidInputThe data found in the given input stream is invalid, incomplete, or incorrectly formatted.
Python
Not present. Instead use the variant of fromTaggedData() that takes its input as a string.
Parameters
inthe input stream from which to read.
Returns
the new search manager, or null if the data in the input stream was invalid or incorrectly formatted.

◆ isCanonical()

bool regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::isCanonical ( ) const
protected

Compares the current set of gluing permutations with its preimage under each automorphism of the underlying edge pairing, in order to see whether the current set is in canonical form (i.e., is lexicographically smallest).

Returns
true if the current set is in canonical form, or false otherwise.

◆ isComplete()

bool regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::isComplete ( ) const
inline

Determines whether this search manager holds a complete gluing permutation set or just a partially completed search state.

This may assist the action routine when running partial depth-based searches. See partialSearch() for further details.

Returns
true if a complete gluing permutation set is held, or false otherwise.

◆ partialSearch()

template<typename Action , typename... Args>
void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::partialSearch ( long  maxDepth,
Action &&  action,
Args &&...  args 
)
inline

Runs a partial search for all possible gluing permutations that satisfy the search criteria, branching only to the given depth and no further.

This routine essentially does some but not all of the work of runSearch(). See the runSearch() documentation for a detailed overview of what the full search aims to achieve.

If runSearch() enumerates an entire search tree, then you can think of partialSearch() as only enumerating the first maxDepth levels of this search tree. Rather than producing complete gluing permutation sets, this search will produce a series of partially-constructed permutation sets. A partial search can be continued by calling runSearch() again on the underlying GluingPermSearcher (perhaps after being frozen, or passed on to a different processor via taggedData() and fromTaggedData()). If necessary, the action routine may call isComplete() to distinguish between a complete set of gluing permutations and a partial search state.

Note that a restarted search will never drop below its initial depth. That is, calling runSearch() with a fixed depth can be used to subdivide the overall search space into many branches, and then calling runSearch() on each resulting partial search will complete each of these branches without overlap.

If the search tree is shallow enough (or if maxDepth is large enough), it is possible that this routine will produce complete gluing permutation sets.

Python
This function is available, and action may be a pure Python function. However, action cannot take any additional arguments beyond the initial gluing permutation set (and therefore the additional args list is omitted here).
Parameters
maxDepththe depth of the partial search to run. A negative number indicates that a full search should be run.
actiona function (or other callable object) to call for each permutation set (partial or complete) that is found.
argsany additional arguments that should be passed to action, following the initial permutation set argument.

◆ runSearch()

template<typename Action , typename... Args>
void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::runSearch ( Action &&  action,
Args &&...  args 
)
inline

Generates all possible gluing permutation sets that satisfy the current search criteria.

The search criteria are specified in the class constructor, or through the static method findAllPerms().

Each set of gluing permutations will be produced precisely once up to equivalence, where equivalence is defined by the given set of automorphisms of the given edge pairing.

For each permutation set that is generated, this routine will call action (which must be a function or some other callable object).

  • The first argument to action must be a const reference to a GluingPerms<2>. This will be the permutation set that was found. If action wishes to keep the permutation set, it should take a deep copy (not a reference), since the permutation set may be changed and reused after action returns.
  • If there are any additional arguments supplied in the list args, then these will be passed as subsequent arguments to action.
  • action must return void.

It is possible to run only a partial search, branching to a given depth but no further; for this you should use the separate routine partialSearch(), not runSearch().

Todo:
Feature: Allow cancellation of permutation set generation.
Python
This function is available, and action may be a pure Python function. However, action cannot take any additional arguments beyond the initial gluing permutation set (and therefore the additional args list is omitted here).
Parameters
actiona function (or other callable object) to call for each permutation set that is found.
argsany additional arguments that should be passed to action, following the initial permutation set argument.

◆ searchImpl()

virtual void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::searchImpl ( long  maxDepth,
ActionWrapper &&  action 
)
protectedvirtual

A de-templatised implementation of runSearch() and partialSearch().

Here the templated action plus arguments are bundled together in a wrapper whose full type is known in advance.

Subclasses corresponding to more specialised search criteria should override this routine to use a better optimised algorithm where possible.

See runSearch() and partialSearch() for further details.

◆ str()

std::string regina::Output< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > , supportsUtf8 >::str ( ) const
inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object.

This text should be human-readable, should use plain ASCII characters where possible, and should not contain any newlines.

Within these limits, this short text ouptut should be as information-rich as possible, since in most cases this forms the basis for the Python __str__() and __repr__() functions.

Python
The Python "stringification" function __str__() will use precisely this function, and for most classes the Python __repr__() function will incorporate this into its output.
Returns
a short text representation of this object.

◆ taggedData()

std::string regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::taggedData ( ) const
inline

Returns all internal data in a plain text format, along with a marker to signify which precise class the data belongs to.

This routine can be used with fromTaggedData() to transport objects from place to place whose precise class is unknown.

This routine returns the same information that dumpTaggedData() writes.

The key difference between data() and taggedData() is that taggedData() preserves all internal information even if this object belongs to a subclass of GluingPermSearcher, whereas data() only writes information pertaining to this base class.

Warning
The data format is liable to change between Regina releases. Data in this format should be used on a short-term temporary basis only.
Returns
all of this object's internal data in plain text format.

◆ utf8()

std::string regina::Output< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > , supportsUtf8 >::utf8 ( ) const
inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object using unicode characters.

Like str(), this text should be human-readable, should not contain any newlines, and (within these constraints) should be as information-rich as is reasonable.

Unlike str(), this function may use unicode characters to make the output more pleasant to read. The string that is returned will be encoded in UTF-8.

Returns
a short text representation of this object.

◆ writeTextLong()

void regina::ShortOutput< GluingPermSearcher< 2 > , false >::writeTextLong ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlineinherited

A default implementation for detailed output.

This routine simply calls T::writeTextShort() and appends a final newline.

Python
Not present. Instead you can call detail() from the subclass T, which returns this output as a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

◆ writeTextShort()

void regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::writeTextShort ( std::ostream &  out) const

Writes a short text representation of this object to the given output stream.

Python
Not present. Use str() instead.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

Member Data Documentation

◆ autos_

const FacetPairing<2>::IsoList regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::autos_
protected

The set of isomorphisms that define equivalence of gluing permutation sets.

Generally this is the set of all automorphisms of the underlying edge pairing.

Specifically, this order is order[0], order[1], ..., order[orderSize-1].

Note that each element of this array corresponds to a single edge of the underlying edge pairing graph, which in turn represents a triangle edge and its image under the given edge pairing.

The specific triangle edge stored in this array for each edge of the underlying edge pairing graph will be the smaller of the two identified triangle edges (unless otherwise specified by a subclass that uses a specialised search algorithm.

◆ orderElt

ssize_t regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::orderElt
protected

Marks which element of order[] we are currently examining at this stage of the search.

◆ orientableOnly_

bool regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::orientableOnly_
protected

Are we only searching for gluing permutations that correspond to orientable triangulations?

◆ orientation

int* regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::orientation
protected

Keeps track of the orientation of each triangle in the underlying triangulation.

Orientation is positive/negative, or 0 if unknown. Note that in some algorithms the orientation is simply ±1, and in some algorithms the orientation counts forwards or backwards from 0 according to how many times the orientation has been set or verified.

◆ perms_

GluingPerms<2> regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::perms_
protected

The set of gluing permutations under construction.

◆ started

bool regina::GluingPermSearcher< 2 >::started
