Multiple-source multiple-sink maximum flow in planar graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we show an O(n log n) time algorithm for finding a maximum flow in a planar graph with multiple sources and multiple sinks. This is the fastest algorithm whose running time depends only on the number of vertices in the graph. For general (nonplanar) graphs the multiple-source multiple-sink version of the maximum flow problem is as difficult as the standard single-source single-sink version. However, the standard reduction does not preserve the planarity of the graph, and it is not known how to generalize existing maximum flow algorithms for planar graphs to the multiple-source multiple-sink maximum flow problem.

متن کاملMultiple-Source Single-Sink Maximum Flow in Directed Planar Graphs in O(diameter · n log n) Time
We develop a new technique for computing maximum flow in directed planar graphs with multiple sources and a single sink that significantly deviates from previously known techniques for flow problems. This gives rise to an O(diameter · n logn) algorithm for the problem.
