Hi all,

I am working on the implementation of a framework which supports addition
of contraction techniques for pgRouting for the GsoC 2016. This is my
fourth report.

*My initial plan*

   - Analysis of dead end contraction.
   - Analysis of linear contraction.

*What did I do this week?*

   - Discussion with the mentor about the dead end and linear contraction
   on  16/06/2016 and 14/06/2016.
   - Added more functionality to the identifiers class.
   - Added more functionality to the contraction graph class.
   - Identified that the dead end and linear contraction conditions are
   different for directed and undirected graphs with the help of hand drawings.
   - Modification and addition of conditions for dead end contraction.
   - Modification and addition of conditions for linear contraction.
   - Wrote demo sql file to display the contraction results of dead end
   contraction.
   - Wrote demo sql file to display the contraction results of linear
   contraction.
   - Modified the output of contraction query by only returning the changes
   due to contraction.
   - Completed reading a paper
   <http://www.classes.cec.wustl.edu/~cse341/web/handouts/lecture14.pdf> on
   graph contraction given by mentor Vicky Vergara.

*What will I be working on next week?*

   - Adding extra conditions of dead end and linear contraction for an
   undirected graph.
   - Writing tests for dead end and linear contraction for an undirected
   graph.
   - Design the structures and functions for the framework.

*Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?*

   - I had a problem in figuring out some conditions for dead end and
   linear contraction. After discussion with my mentor, my issue was resolved.
   - At the moment I’m not blocked.
