Push-Relabel Algorithm/Evidence
Method evidence record

Push-Relabel Algorithm

The Push-Relabel Algorithm, developed by Andrew V. Goldberg and Robert E. Tarjan in 1988, is a highly efficient method for computing maximum flow in networks. Unlike augmenting path methods, it maintains a preflow and uses local push and global relabeling operations to drive flow toward the sink, achieving superior worst-case complexity.
