Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a directed graph with edges having specific capacities, use the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to calculate the maximum flow from source 's' to sink 't'. Demonstrate all steps including residual graph representations.

💡 Hint: Start at zero flow and find paths iteratively.

Challenge 2 Hard

Prove the Max Flow-Min Cut Theorem by considering a specific network and demonstrating that the maximum flow equals the smallest cut capacity.

💡 Hint: Experiment with identifying cuts in a sample network.
