+ * \section definition Definition
+ *
+ * Alpha_complex is a <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicial_complex">simplicial complex</a>
+ * constructed from the finite cells of a Delaunay Triangulation.
+ *
+ * The filtration value of each simplex is computed as the square of the circumradius of the simplex if the
+ * circumsphere is empty (the simplex is then said to be Gabriel), and as the minimum of the filtration
+ * values of the codimension 1 cofaces that make it not Gabriel otherwise.
+ *
+ * All simplices that have a filtration value strictly greater than a given alpha squared value are not inserted into
+ * the complex.
+ *
+ * \image html "alpha_complex_representation.png" "Alpha-complex representation"
+ *
+ * Alpha_complex is constructing a <a target="_blank"
+ * href="http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Triangulation/index.html#Chapter_Triangulations">Delaunay Triangulation</a>
+ * \cite cgal:hdj-t-15b from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cgal.org/">CGAL</a> (the Computational Geometry
+ * Algorithms Library \cite cgal:eb-15b) and is able to create a `SimplicialComplexForAlpha`.
+ *
+ * The complex is a template class requiring an Epick_d <a target="_blank"
+ * href="http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Kernel_d/index.html#Chapter_dD_Geometry_Kernel">dD Geometry Kernel</a>
+ * \cite cgal:s-gkd-15b from CGAL as template parameter.
+ *
+ * \remark When the simplicial complex is constructed with an infinite value of alpha, the complex is a Delaunay
+ * complex.
+ *
+ * \section pointsexample Example from points
+ *
+ * This example builds the Delaunay triangulation from the given points in a 2D static kernel, and creates a
+ * `Simplex_tree` with it.
+ *
+ * Then, it is asked to display information about the simplicial complex.
+ *
+ * \include Alpha_complex/Alpha_complex_from_points.cpp
+ *
+ * When launching:
+ *
+ * \code $> ./alphapoints
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * the program output is:
+ *
+ * \include Alpha_complex/alphaoffreader_for_doc_60.txt
+ *
+ * \section createcomplexalgorithm Create complex algorithm
+ *
+ * \subsection datastructure Data structure
+ *
+ * In order to create the simplicial complex, first, it is built from the cells of the Delaunay Triangulation.
+ * The filtration values are set to NaN, which stands for unknown value.
+ *
+ * In example, :
+ * \image html "alpha_complex_doc.png" "Simplicial complex structure construction example"
+ *
+ * \subsection filtrationcomputation Filtration value computation algorithm
+ *
+ * \f{algorithm}{
+ * \caption{Filtration value computation algorithm}\label{alpha}
+ * \begin{algorithmic}
+ * \For{i : dimension $\rightarrow$ 0}
+ * \ForAll{$\sigma$ of dimension i}
+ * \If {filtration($\sigma$) is NaN}
+ * \State filtration($\sigma$) = $\alpha^2(\sigma)$
+ * \EndIf
+ * \ForAll{$\tau$ face of $\sigma$} \Comment{propagate alpha filtration value}
+ * \If {filtration($\tau$) is not NaN}
+ * \State filtration($\tau$) = min (filtration($\tau$), filtration($\sigma$))
+ * \Else
+ * \If {$\tau$ is not Gabriel for $\sigma$}
+ * \State filtration($\tau$) = filtration($\sigma$)
+ * \EndIf
+ * \EndIf
+ * \EndFor
+ * \EndFor
+ * \EndFor
+ * \State make\_filtration\_non\_decreasing()
+ * \State prune\_above\_filtration()
+ * \end{algorithmic}
+ * \f}
+ *
+ * \subsubsection dimension2 Dimension 2
+ *
+ * From the example above, it means the algorithm looks into each triangle ([0,1,2], [0,2,4], [1,2,3], ...),
+ * computes the filtration value of the triangle, and then propagates the filtration value as described
+ * here :
+ * \image html "alpha_complex_doc_420.png" "Filtration value propagation example"
+ *
+ * \subsubsection dimension1 Dimension 1
+ *
+ * Then, the algorithm looks into each edge ([0,1], [0,2], [1,2], ...),
+ * computes the filtration value of the edge (in this case, propagation will have no effect).
+ *
+ * \subsubsection dimension0 Dimension 0
+ *
+ * Finally, the algorithm looks into each vertex ([0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]) and
+ * sets the filtration value (0 in case of a vertex - propagation will have no effect).
+ *
+ * \subsubsection nondecreasing Non decreasing filtration values
+ *
+ * As the squared radii computed by CGAL are an approximation, it might happen that these alpha squared values do not
+ * quite define a proper filtration (i.e. non-decreasing with respect to inclusion).
+ * We fix that up by calling `SimplicialComplexForAlpha::make_filtration_non_decreasing()`.
+ *
+ * \subsubsection pruneabove Prune above given filtration value
+ *
+ * The simplex tree is pruned from the given maximum alpha squared value (cf.
+ * `SimplicialComplexForAlpha::prune_above_filtration()`).
+ * In the following example, the value is given by the user as argument of the program.
+ *
+ *
+ * \section offexample Example from OFF file
+ *
+ * This example builds the Delaunay triangulation in a dynamic kernel, and initializes the alpha complex with it.
+ *
+ *
+ * Then, it is asked to display information about the alpha complex.
+ *
+ * \include Alpha_complex/Alpha_complex_from_off.cpp
+ *
+ * When launching:
+ *
+ * \code $> ./alphaoffreader ../../data/points/alphacomplexdoc.off 32.0
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * the program output is:
+ *
+ * \include Alpha_complex/alphaoffreader_for_doc_32.txt
