## Detailed Description

A grid.

An object of the class Grid represents a rational grid.

The domain of grids optimally supports:

- all (proper and non-proper) congruences;
- tautological and inconsistent constraints;
- linear equality constraints (i.e., non-proper congruences).

Depending on the method, using a constraint that is not optimally supported by the domain will either raise an exception or result in a (possibly non-optimal) upward approximation.

The domain of grids support a concept of double description similar to the one developed for polyhedra: hence, a grid can be specified as either a finite system of congruences or a finite system of generators (see Section Rational Grids) and it is always possible to obtain either representation. That is, if we know the system of congruences, we can obtain from this a system of generators that define the same grid and vice versa. These systems can contain redundant members, or they can be in the minimal form.

A key attribute of any grid is its space dimension (the dimension of the enclosing vector space):

- all grids, the empty ones included, are endowed with a space dimension;
- most operations working on a grid and another object (another grid, a congruence, a generator, a set of variables, etc.) will throw an exception if the grid and the object are not dimension-compatible (see Section Space Dimensions and Dimension-compatibility for Grids);
- the only ways in which the space dimension of a grid can be changed are with explicit calls to operators provided for that purpose, and with standard copy, assignment and swap operators.

Note that two different grids can be defined on the zero-dimension space: the empty grid and the universe grid .

  In all the examples it is assumed that variables `x` and `y` are defined (where they are used) as follows:

        Variable x(0);
        Variable y(1);

Example 1
  The following code builds a grid corresponding to the even integer pairs in , given as a system of congruences:

        Congruence_System cgs;
        cgs.insert((x %= 0) / 2);
        cgs.insert((y %= 0) / 2);
        Grid gr(cgs);

  The following code builds the same grid as above, but starting from a system of generators specifying three of the points:

        Grid_Generator_System gs;
        gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 2*y));
        gs.insert(grid_point(2*x + 0*y));
        Grid gr(gs);

Example 2
  The following code builds a grid corresponding to a line in by adding a single congruence to the universe grid:

        Congruence_System cgs;
        cgs.insert(x - y == 0);
        Grid gr(cgs);

  The following code builds the same grid as above, but starting from a system of generators specifying a point and a line:

        Grid_Generator_System gs;
        gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gs.insert(grid_line(x + y));
        Grid gr(gs);

Example 3
  The following code builds a grid corresponding to the integral points on the line in constructed by adding an equality and congruence to the universe grid:

        Congruence_System cgs;
        cgs.insert(x - y == 0);
        cgs.insert(x %= 0);
        Grid gr(cgs);

  The following code builds the same grid as above, but starting from a system of generators specifying a point and a parameter:

        Grid_Generator_System gs;
        gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gs.insert(parameter(x + y));
        Grid gr(gs);

Example 4
  The following code builds the grid corresponding to a plane by creating the universe grid in :

        Grid gr(2);

  The following code builds the same grid as above, but starting from the empty grid in and inserting the appropriate generators (a point, and two lines).

        Grid gr(2, EMPTY);
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_line(x));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_line(y));

  Note that a generator system must contain a point when describing a grid. To ensure that this is always the case it is required that the first generator inserted in an empty grid is a point (otherwise, an exception is thrown).

Example 5
  The following code shows the use of the function `add_space_dimensions_and_embed`:

        Grid gr(1);
        gr.add_congruence(x == 2);
        gr.add_space_dimensions_and_embed(1);

  We build the universe grid in the 1-dimension space . Then we add a single equality congruence, thus obtaining the grid corresponding to the singleton set . After the last line of code, the resulting grid is

Example 6
  The following code shows the use of the function `add_space_dimensions_and_project`:

        Grid gr(1);
        gr.add_congruence(x == 2);
        gr.add_space_dimensions_and_project(1);

  The first two lines of code are the same as in Example 4 for `add_space_dimensions_and_embed`. After the last line of code, the resulting grid is the singleton set .

Example 7
  The following code shows the use of the function `affine_image`:

        Grid gr(2, EMPTY);
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(4*x + 0*y));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(0*x + 2*y));
        Linear_Expression expr = x + 3;
        gr.affine_image(x, expr);

  In this example the starting grid is all the pairs of and in where is an integer multiple of 4 and is an integer multiple of 2. The considered variable is and the affine expression is . The resulting grid is the given grid translated 3 integers to the right (all the pairs where is -1 plus an integer multiple of 4 and is an integer multiple of 2). Moreover, if the affine transformation for the same variable `x` is instead :

        Linear_Expression expr = x + y;

  the resulting grid is every second integral point along the line, with this line of points repeated at every fourth integral value along the axis. Instead, if we do not use an invertible transformation for the same variable; for example, the affine expression :

        Linear_Expression expr = y;

  the resulting grid is every second point along the line.

Example 8
  The following code shows the use of the function `affine_preimage`:

        Grid gr(2, EMPTY);
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(4*x + 0*y));
        gr.add_grid_generator(grid_point(0*x + 2*y));
        Linear_Expression expr = x + 3;
        gr.affine_preimage(x, expr);

  In this example the starting grid, `var` and the affine expression and the denominator are the same as in Example 6, while the resulting grid is similar but translated 3 integers to the left (all the pairs where is -3 plus an integer multiple of 4 and is an integer multiple of 2).. Moreover, if the affine transformation for `x` is

        Linear_Expression expr = x + y;

  the resulting grid is a similar grid to the result in Example 6, only the grid is slanted along . Instead, if we do not use an invertible transformation for the same variable `x`, for example, the affine expression :

        Linear_Expression expr = y;

  the resulting grid is every fourth line parallel to the axis.

Example 9
  For this example we also use the variables:

        Variable z(2);
        Variable w(3);

  The following code shows the use of the function `remove_space_dimensions`:

        Grid_Generator_System gs;
        gs.insert(grid_point(3*x + y +0*z + 2*w));
        Grid gr(gs);
        Variables_Set vars;
        vars.insert(y);
        vars.insert(z);
        gr.remove_space_dimensions(vars);

  The starting grid is the singleton set , while the resulting grid is . Be careful when removing space dimensions incrementally: since dimensions are automatically renamed after each application of the `remove_space_dimensions` operator, unexpected results can be obtained. For instance, by using the following code we would obtain a different result:

        set<Variable> vars1;
        vars1.insert(y);
        gr.remove_space_dimensions(vars1);
        set<Variable> vars2;
        vars2.insert(z);
        gr.remove_space_dimensions(vars2);

  In this case, the result is the grid : when removing the set of dimensions `vars2` we are actually removing variable of the original grid. For the same reason, the operator `remove_space_dimensions` is not idempotent: removing twice the same non-empty set of dimensions is never the same as removing them just once.

template<typename Partial_Function >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Grid::map_space_dimensions | ( | const Partial_Function & | pfunc | ) | `[inline]`

Remaps the dimensions of the vector space according to a partial function.

If `pfunc` maps only some of the dimensions of `*this` then the rest will be projected away.

If the highest dimension mapped to by `pfunc` is higher than the highest dimension in `*this` then the number of dimensions in `this` will be increased to the highest dimension mapped to by `pfunc`.

Parameters:

  | pfunc | The partial function specifying the destiny of each space dimension.

The template type parameter Partial_Function must provide the following methods.

          bool has_empty_codomain() const

returns `true` if and only if the represented partial function has an empty codomain (i.e., it is always undefined). The `has_empty_codomain()` method will always be called before the methods below. However, if `has_empty_codomain()` returns `true`, none of the functions below will be called.

          dimension_type max_in_codomain() const

returns the maximum value that belongs to the codomain of the partial function. The `max_in_codomain()` method is called at most once.

          bool maps(dimension_type i, dimension_type& j) const

Let be the represented function and be the value of `i`. If is defined in , then is assigned to `j` and `true` is returned. If is undefined in , then `false` is returned. This method is called at most times, where is the dimension of the vector space enclosing the grid.

The result is undefined if `pfunc` does not encode a partial function with the properties described in the specification of the mapping operator.

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Grid::expand_space_dimension | ( | Variable | var,
