#' Minimum cut in a graph
#'
#' `min_cut()` calculates the minimum st-cut between two vertices in a graph
#' (if the `source` and `target` arguments are given) or the minimum
#' cut of the graph (if both `source` and `target` are `NULL`).
#'
#' The minimum st-cut between `source` and `target` is the minimum
#' total weight of edges needed to remove to eliminate all paths from
#' `source` to `target`.
#'
#' The minimum cut of a graph is the minimum total weight of the edges needed
#' to remove to separate the graph into (at least) two components. (Which is to
#' make the graph *not* strongly connected in the directed case.)
#'
#' The maximum flow between two vertices in a graph is the same as the minimum
#' st-cut, so `max_flow()` and `min_cut()` essentially calculate the same
#' quantity, the only difference is that `min_cut()` can be invoked without
#' giving the `source` and `target` arguments and then minimum of all
#' possible minimum cuts is calculated.
#'
#' For undirected graphs the Stoer-Wagner algorithm (see reference below) is
#' used to calculate the minimum cut.
#'
#' @aliases graph.mincut
#' @param graph The input graph.
#' @param source The id of the source vertex.
#' @param target The id of the target vertex (sometimes also called sink).
#' @param capacity Vector giving the capacity of the edges. If this is
#'   `NULL` (the default) then the `capacity` edge attribute is used.
#' @param value.only Logical scalar, if `TRUE` only the minimum cut value
#'   is returned, if `FALSE` the edges in the cut and a the two (or more)
#'   partitions are also returned.
#' @return For `min_cut()` a nuieric constant, the value of the minimum
#'   cut, except if `value.only = FALSE`. In this case a named list with
#'   components:
#'   \item{value}{Numeric scalar, the cut value.}
#'   \item{cut}{Numeric vector, the edges in the cut.}
#'   \item{partition1}{The vertices in the first partition after the cut
#'     edges are removed. Note that these vertices might be actually in
#'     different components (after the cut edges are removed), as the graph
#'     may fall apart into more than two components.}
#'   \item{partition2}{The vertices in the second partition
#'     after the cut edges are removed. Note that these vertices might be
#'     actually in different components (after the cut edges are removed), as
#'     the graph may fall apart into more than two components.}

#'
#' The vertex connectivity of two vertices (`source` and `target`) in

#'
#' The vertex connectivity of a graph is the minimum vertex connectivity of all
#' (ordered) pairs of vertices in the graph. In other words this is the minimum
#' number of vertices needed to remove to make the graph not strongly
#' connected. (If the graph is not strongly connected then this is zero.)
#' `vertex_connectivity()` calculates this quantity if neither the
#' `source` nor `target` arguments are given. (I.e. they are both
#' `NULL`.)
#'
#' A set of vertex disjoint directed paths from `source` to `vertex`
#' is a set of directed paths between them whose vertices do not contain common
#' vertices (apart from `source` and `target`). The maximum number of
#' vertex disjoint paths between two vertices is the same as their vertex
#' connectivity in most cases (if the two vertices are not connected by an
#' edge).
#'
#' The cohesion of a graph (as defined by White and Harary, see references), is
#' the vertex connectivity of the graph. This is calculated by
#' `cohesion()`.

#' The edge connectivity of a graph is the minimum of the edge connectivity of

#'
#' A set of edge disjoint paths between two vertices is a set of paths between

#'
#' The adhesion of a graph is the minimum number of edges needed to remove to
#' obtain a graph which is not strongly connected. This is the same as the edge
#' connectivity of the graph.

#' Dominator tree of a directed graph.

#' A flowgraph is a directed graph with a distinguished start (or root) vertex

#' A \eqn{(s,t)} vertex separator is a set of vertices, such that after their

#' Maximum flow in a graph
#'
#' In a graph where each edge has a given flow capacity the maximal flow
#' between two vertices is calculated.
#'
#' `max_flow()` calculates the maximum flow between two vertices in a
#' weighted (i.e. valued) graph. A flow from `source` to `target` is
#' an assignment of non-negative real numbers to the edges of the graph,
#' satisfying two properties: (1) for each edge the flow (i.e. the assigned
#' number) is not more than the capacity of the edge (the `capacity`
#' parameter or edge attribute), (2) for every vertex, except the source and
#' the target the incoming flow is the same as the outgoing flow. The value of
#' the flow is the incoming flow of the `target` vertex. The maximum flow
#' is the flow of maximum value.
#'
#' @aliases graph.maxflow
#' @param graph The input graph.
#' @param source The id of the source vertex.
#' @param target The id of the target vertex (sometimes also called sink).
#' @param capacity Vector giving the capacity of the edges. If this is
#'   `NULL` (the default) then the `capacity` edge attribute is used.
#'   Note that the `weight` edge attribute is not used by this function.
#' @return A named list with components:
#'   \item{value}{A numeric scalar, the value of the maximum flow.}
#'   \item{flow}{A numeric vector, the flow itself, one entry for each
#'     edge. For undirected graphs this entry is bit trickier, since for
#'     these the flow direction is not predetermined by the edge
#'     direction. For these graphs the elements of the this vector can be
#'     negative, this means that the flow goes from the bigger vertex id to
#'     the smaller one. Positive values mean that the flow goes from
#'     the smaller vertex id to the bigger one.}
#'   \item{cut}{A numeric vector of edge ids, the minimum cut corresponding
#'     to the maximum flow.}
#'   \item{partition1}{A numeric vector of vertex ids, the vertices in the
#'     first partition of the minimum cut corresponding to the maximum
#'     flow.}
#'   \item{partition2}{A numeric vector of vertex ids, the vertices in the
#'     second partition of the minimum cut corresponding to the maximum
#'     flow.}
#'   \item{stats}{A list with some statistics from the push-relabel
#'     algorithm. Five integer values currently: `nopush` is the
#'     number of push operations, `norelabel` the number of
#'     relabelings, `nogap` is the number of times the gap heuristics
#'     was used, `nogapnodes` is the total number of gap nodes omitted
#'     because of the gap heuristics and `nobfs` is the number of
#'     times a global breadth-first-search update was performed to assign
#'     better height (=distance) values to the vertices.}

#' Vertex separators
#'
