Edmonds–Karp algorithm: Science, Algorithm & Example

In computer science, the Edmonds–Karp algorithm is an implementation of the Ford–Fulkerson method for computing the maximum flow in a flow network in O ( | V | | E | 2 ) {\displaystyle O(|V||E|^{2})} time. The algorithm was first published by Yefim Dinitz in 1970, and independently published by Jack Edmonds and Richard Karp in 1972. Dinitz's algorithm…
