Max flows in O(nm) time, or better

In this paper, we present improved polynomial time algorithms for the max flow problem defined on sparse networks with n nodes and m arcs. We show how to solve the max flow problem in O(nm + m[superscript 31/16] log[superscript 2] n) time. In the case that m = O(n[superscript 1.06]), this improves u...
