[+] Maximum flow in planar graphs with multiple sources and sinks

We discuss how to find a maximum flow in a planar flow network with multiple sources and sinks. We introduce pseudoflows and define a sense in which a pseudoflow is maximum. The heart of the lecture is a procedure for eliminating residual paths between vertices with positive and negative inflow on a cycle, which is used by a recursive algorithm for the maximum flow problem.
