LEDA - A Library of Efficient Data Types and Algorithms


LEDA ("Library of Efficient Data types and Algorithms") has been developing since 1988 under the efforts of a group at the Max Planck Institut in Saarbrucken Germany (including Kurt Melhorn, Stefan Naher, Stefan Schirra, Christian Uhrig, and Christoph Burnikel). The success of LEDA has been a direct result of a continuous resource investment on the part of its algorithmically sophisticated development team.

Implemented in C++ using templates, LEDA may be compiled on a wide range of systems (older compilers may not support templates, but most new C++ compilers provide facilities to implement this feature). The standard distribution contains source code, installation information, and a complete user's manual. Please note that LEDA is not in the public domain, but may be used freely for research and teaching. Commercial licenses are availabe through the LEDA home page.

LEDA comprises an extensive collection of data structures and types. Libraries of algorithms using these data types are provided, with examples illustrating the ease with which algorithmic tasks may be accomplished given the LEDA data types.
