Finding a Feasible Flow in a Strongly Connected Network (0711.2710v2)
Published 17 Nov 2007 in cs.DS
Abstract: We consider the problem of finding a feasible single-commodity flow in a strongly connected network with fixed supplies and demands, provided that the sum of supplies equals the sum of demands and the minimum arc capacity is at least this sum. A fast algorithm for this problem improves the worst-case time bound of the Goldberg-Rao maximum flow method by a constant factor. Erlebach and Hagerup gave an linear-time feasible flow algorithm. We give an arguably simpler one.
