(a) Let be a flow network with capacities on the edges. Explain the maximum flow problem on this network defining all the notation you need.
(b) Describe the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for finding a maximum flow and state the max-flow min-cut theorem.
(c) Apply the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to find a maximum flow and a minimum cut of the following network:
(d) Suppose that we add to each capacity of a flow network. Is it true that the maximum flow will always increase by ? Justify your answer.
