Chapter 24 — Maximum Flow

This is the canonical CLRS fourth-edition chapter guide during the migration period.

Current source

Sections 24.1--24.6 are native fourth-edition sections (flow networks, the Ford–Fulkerson method with the Edmonds-Karp correctness and work-analysis development, maximum bipartite matching, the push-relabel preflow model and its operation count, the relabel-to-front ordering, and the max-flow min-cut theorem), imported directly from Section 24.1, Section 24.2, Section 24.3, Section 24.4, Section 24.5, and Section 24.6. Section 24.6 is named after the theorem it proves (Theorem 24.6). Declarations retain the legacy CLRS.Chapter26 namespace during the compatibility period; the third-edition-numbered imports CLRSLean.Chapter_26 and CLRSLean.Chapter_26.Section_26_* forward to these sources.

Implementation details

The supporting implementation pages remain available outside the main sidebar:

Coverage boundary

The native sections supply the represented fourth-edition maximum-flow sections (Lemma 24.5 net-flow/cut value, Lemmas 24.7--24.8 Edmonds-Karp distance growth, the §24.4 preflow-push model with its height-bound and correctness theorems, the §24.5 relabel-to-front ordering with the O(V²E) operation-count bound, and Theorem 24.6 max-flow min-cut).

See docs/clrs-fourth-edition-map.csv for the section-level mapping and docs/migrations/clrs4.md for compatibility and deprecation policy.
