  Synopsis    [Symbolic maxflow algorithm.]

  Description [This file contains the functions that implement the
  symbolic version of Dinits's maxflow algorithm described in the
  ICCAD93 paper. The present implementation differs from the algorithm
  described in the paper in that more than one matching techniques is
  used. The technique of the paper is the one applied to
  hourglass-type bilayers here.]

  Synopsis    []

  Description [This function implements Dinits's algorithm for (0-1)
  max flow, using BDDs and a symbolic technique to trace multiple
  edge-disjoint augmenting paths to complete a phase. The outer
  forever loop is over phases, and the inner forever loop is to
  propagate a (not yet) maximal flow of edge-disjoint augmenting paths
  from one layer to the previous. The subprocedure call implements a
  least fixed point iteration to compute a (not yet) maximal flow
  update between layers. At the end of each phase (except the last
  one) the flow is actually pushed from the source to the sink.

  Data items:
    <ul>
    <li> sx(ty)	BDD representations of s(t).
    <li> x(y)	The variables encoding the from(to)-node u(v) of an
		edge (u,v) in the given digraph.
    <li> z	Another set of variables.
    <li> E(x,y)	The edge relation.
    <li> F(x,y) BDD representation of the current flow, initialized to 0
		for each arc, and updated by +1, -1, or 0 at the
		end of each phase.
    <li> Ms Mt	The maximum flow, that is, the cardinality of a minimum cut,
		measured at the source and at the sink, respectively.
		The two values should be identical.
    <li> reached The set of nodes already visited in the BFS of the digraph.
    <li> fos	fanout of the source node s.
    <li> fit	fanin of the sink node t.
    </ul>
  ]

  SideEffects [The flow realtion F and the cutset relation cut are returned
  as side effects.]

  Synopsis    [Selects set of edge-disjoint paths from layered network.]

  Description [Selects set of edge-disjoint paths from layered
  network.  maximal_pull is called when the BFS constructing the
  layered graph reaches a sink. At this point the new sets of the
  BFS have been formed, and we know every vertex in these sets is
  reachable from the source vertex (or vertices) s. The new sets are
  used to compute the set of useful edges exiting each layer to the
  right. In each layer, propagate_maximal_flow is called to select a
  maximal subset of these useful edges. This subset is then used to
  prune new and U.]

/**Function********************************************************************

  Synopsis    [Pulls flow though a layer.]

  Description [Pulls flow though a layer. propagate_maximal_flow only
  affects U[m-1] and new[m-1].  At the end of this function, the edges
  in U[m] are guaranteed to drain all the flow supplied by the edges
  in U[m-1]. This effect is obtained by pruning U[m-1]. After the
  pruned U[m-1] is computed, new[m-1] is updated to keep track of what
  nodes are still useful.

  The pruning is performed without actually measuring the in-potential
  and the out-potential of each node. Instead, pairs of nodes from U[m-1]
  and U[m] are matched. To avoid counting, the procedure computes sets of
  paths that connect layer m-1 to layer m+1 and are edge-disjoint.

  Two paths from layer m-1 to layer m+1 are disjoint if they have distinct
  end-point or if they have distinct middle points. What condition to
  enforce depends on the "shape" of the layers.]
