Maximum Flow Problem

The maximum flow problem involves determining the greatest amount of a resource—like water, data, or goods—that can be transported from a source to a sink through a network of interconnected paths. Each path has a limited capacity, representing how much can pass through at once. The goal is to find the optimal way to send as much as possible from the start point to the endpoint without exceeding these limits. This concept is essential in fields like logistics, telecommunications, and transportation planning to optimize efficiency and resource allocation.
