Abstract

We consider the following problem. Let G=(V, E) be an undirected planar graph and let s, t∈V, s≠t. The problem is to find a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths, each connecting s with t, with maximum cardinality. In other words, the problem is to find a maximum unit flow from s to t. The fastest algorithm in the literature has running time O(|V|log|V|)(¦V¦ log ¦V¦). In this paper now, we give a linear time algorithm.KeywordsPlanar GraphLinear TimeUnit FlowOuter FaceSearch PathThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
