Abstract

First, we present two classes of sequential algorithms for minimum flow problem: decreasing path algorithms and preflow algorithms. Then we describe another approach of the minimum flow problem, that consists of applying any maximum flow algorithm in a modified network. In section 5 we present several parallel preflow algorithms that solve the minimum flow problem. Finally, we present an application of the minimum flow problem.
