Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm
The Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm, developed by Lester R. Ford and Delbert R. Fulkerson in 1956, is a foundational method for computing the maximum flow in a flow network. It finds the maximum amount of flow that can be sent from a source to a sink through a directed graph with capacity constraints on edges.
