  41. Iteration 4: List = {} • The sink is not labeled • Algorithm ends with optimal flow x

  42. Correctness • At the end of each iteration, the algorithm either augments the flow or terminates because it can’t label the sink. • Let S be the set of labeled nodes when the algorithm terminates. Let T = N \ S. • We need to show that when the algorithm terminates v = u[S,T] which implies x is a maximum flow.

  43. Correctness: arcs in (S,T) j s i • rij = 0 • rij = uij - xij + xji • 0 = uij – xij + xji • xij = uij + xji Since xji must be at least zero and 0  xij  uij, it follows that xij = uij.

  44. Correctness: arcs in (T,S) s i j • Suppose xij > 0 • rji = uji – xji + xij • Implies rji > 0 (uji  xji) • Implies s can reach i in residual network which means i should have been labeled. • Thus, xij = 0

  45. Correctness Thus, the flows on the forward arcs in [S,T] are at the upper bound and there is no flow on any of the backwards arcs. This means x is a maximum flow by Property 6.1.

  46. Complexity • Let U = max {(i,j) in A} uij. • If S = {s} and T = N\{s}, then u[S,T] is at most nU. • The maximum flow is at most nU. • Iteration of the inner while loop is O(m): • Each arc is inspected at most once • Finding  is O(n) • Updating the flow on P is O(n) • Complexity is O(nU x m) = O(nmU).
