Abstract

We describe a deterministic version of a 1990 Cheriyan, Hagerup, and Mehlhorn randomized algorithm for computing the maximum flow on a directed graph with n nodes and m edges which runs in time O(mn + n 2+∈), for any constant ∈. This improves upon Alon's 1989 bound of O(mn + n8/3log n) [A] and gives an O(mn) deterministic algorithm for all m > n1+∈. Thus it extends the range of m/n for which an 0{mn) algorithm is known, and matches the 1988 algorithm of Goldberg and Tarjan [GT] for smaller values of m/n.
