<P> This algorithm&nbsp;[<A
HREF="bibliography.html#lengauer-tarjan79">65</A>,<A
HREF="bibliography.html#muchnick97">66</A>,<A
HREF="bibliography.html#appel98">67</A>] builds the dominator tree for
directed graph. There are three options for dealing the depth first
search related values. The simplest version creates data structures
and run depth first search internally. However, chances are that a
user wants to reuse the depth first search data, so we have two
versions. </P>
<P> A vertex <i>u</i> dominates a vertex <i>v</i>, if every path of
directed graph from the entry to <i>v</i> must go through <i>u</i>. In
the left graph of <a href="#fig:dominator-tree-example">Figure 1</a>,
vertex 1 dominates vertex 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, because we have to pass
vertex 1 to reach those vertex. Note that vertex 4 dominates vertex 6,
even though vertex 4 is a successor of vertex 6. Dominator
relationship is useful in many applications especially for compiler
optimization. We can define the immediate dominator for each vertex
such that <i>idom(n) dominates n</i> but does not dominate any other
dominator of <i>n</i>. For example, vertex 1, 3 and 4 are dominators
of vertex 6, but vertex 4 is the immediate dominator, because vertex 1
and 3 dominates vertex 4. If we make every idom of each vertex as its
parent, we can build the dominator tree like the right part of <a
href="#fig:dominator-tree-example">Figure 1</a> </P>

<P> An easy way to build dominator tree is to use iterative bit vector
algorithm, but it may be slow in the worst case. We implemented
Lengauer-Tarjan algorithm whose time complexity is
<i>O((V+E)log(V+E))</i>. </P>
<P> Lengauer-Tarjan algorithm utilizes two techniques. The first one
is, as an intermediate step, finding semidominator which is relatively
easier to evaluate than immediate dominator, and the second one is the
path compression. For the detail of the algorithm, see [<A
HREF="bibliography.html#lengauer-tarjan79">65</A>]. </P>
<h3>Where Defined</h3>
<a href="../../../boost/graph/dominator_tree.hpp"><tt>boost/graph/dominator_tree.hpp</tt></a>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
IN: <tt>const Graph&amp; g</tt>
<blockquote>
The graph object on which the algorithm will be applied.
The type <tt>Graph</tt> must be a model of
<a href="./VertexListGraph.html">Vertex List Graph</a>
and <a href="./BidirectionalGraph.html">Bidirectional Graph</a>.<br>
</blockquote>
IN: <tt>vertex_descriptor entry</tt>
<blockquote>
The entry vertex. The dominator tree will be rooted at this vertex.
</blockquote>
IN: <tt>IndexMap indexMap</tt>
<blockquote>
This maps each vertex to an integer in the range <tt>[0, num_vertices(g))</tt>.
The type
<tt>VertexIndexMap</tt> must be a model of
<a href="../../property_map/doc/ReadablePropertyMap.html">Readable Property Map</a>. The value type of the map must be an
integer type. The vertex descriptor type of the graph needs to be
usable as the key type of the map.
</blockquote>
IN/OUT: <tt>TimeMap dfnumMap</tt>
<blockquote>
The sequence number of depth first search. The type <tt>TimeMap</tt> must be a model of <a href="../../property_map/doc/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">Read/Write Property Map</a>. The vertex descriptor type of the graph needs to be usable as the key type of the <tt>TimeMap</tt>.
</blockquote>
IN/OUT: <tt>PredMap parentMap</tt>
<blockquote>
The predecessor map records the parent of the depth first search tree. The <tt>PredMap</tt> type must be a <a href="../../property_map/doc/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">Read/Write Property Map</a> whose key and value types are the same as the vertex descriptor type of the graph.
</blockquote>
IN/OUT: <tt>VertexVector verticesByDFNum</tt>
<blockquote>
The vector containing vertices in depth first search order. If we access this vector sequentially, it's equivalent to access vertices by depth first search order.
</blockquote>
OUT: <tt>DomTreePredMap domTreePredMap</tt>
<blockquote>
The dominator tree where parents are each children's immediate dominator.
</blockquote>
<H3>Complexity</H3>
<P>
The time complexity is <i>O((V+E)log(V+E))</i>.
