Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a directed graph with specified capacities, use the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to calculate the maximum flow from the source to the sink and document each step of flow augmentation.
💡 Hint: Sketch the graph and track changes in each iteration for better visualization.
Create a network example demonstrating the max flow min cut theorem by calculating the maximum flow and showing the minimum cut.
💡 Hint: Visualize cuts in the graph to understand how they restrict flow.
