Edmonds-Karp algorithm



In computer science and graph theory, the Edmonds-Karp algorithm is an implementation of the Ford-Fulkerson method for computing the maximum flow in a flow network in O(VE^2). It is asymptotically slower than the relabel-to-front algorithm, which runs in O(V^3), but it is often faster in practice for sparse graphs.
