MaxFlowDinic/README.md

Max Flow using Dinic's Algorithm

Installation

This project does not have any specific requirements other than a cpp compiler. The installations process follows the CMake procedure:

git clone https://git.pranger.xyz/sp/MaxFlowDinic
cd MaxFlowDinic
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. && make

Usage

To display the help message:

> ./build/maxFlow -h

You need to pass either and input graph file or an input graph string.

Allowed options:
  -h, --help              Print this help message.
  -f, --input-file arg    Filename of input graph file.
  -s, --input-string arg  Input graph string.
  -o, --stdout            Output to stdout.
  -p, --output-file arg   Filename for output.
  -u, --check-uniqueness  Check uniqueness of maximum flow and minimum cut.
  -a, --max-flow          Include verbose information about the maximum flow to the output.
  -m, --minimum-cut       Include the minimum cut set to the output.
  -v, --verbose           Output verbose algorithmic information and runtime. Pass twice to get information about all augmenting paths computed.

The examples folder features a few toy examples. Using the -f option to pass the path to an input file and -mavv gives a verbose output.

For example:

>./build/maxFlow -f examples/1.txt -mavv
