abstract

We give an algorithm for computing exact maximum flows on graphs with $m$ edges and integer capacities in the range $[1, U]$ in $\widetilde{O}(m^{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{328}} \log U)$ time. For sparse graphs with polynomially bounded integer capacities, this is the first improvement over the $\widetilde{O}(m^{1.5} \log U)$ time bound from [Goldberg-Rao JACM `98]. Our algorithm revolves around dynamically maintaining the augmenting electrical flows at the core of the interior point method based algorithm from [M\k{a}dry JACM `16]. This entails designing data structures that, in limited settings, return edges with large electric energy in a graph undergoing resistance updates.
