To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This improvement is analogous to the bound Edmonds and Karp derived for their capacity-scaling transportation algorithm [4]. The argument is as follows. The algorithm maintains the invariant that the total excess on active vertices is at most nU* . Let phase j be the first phase such that A ^ {/*. Then the total iixrcase in due to phase changes up to and including the change from phase y - 1 to phase ; is at most n 2) 2n/2'~* = 0(n ). The total increase in due to later phase changes is O (n^ lo...gt/*). D Having described the scaling algorithm, we consider the question of whether its running time can be improved by reducing the number of nonsaturating pushes. The proof of Lemma 3. 1 bounds the number of nonsaturating pushes by estimating the total increase in the potential . Observe that there is an imbalance in this estimate: 0{n^ log* U) of the increase is due to phase changes, whereas only O(n^) is due to relabelings. Our plan is to improve this estimate by decreasing the contribution of the phase changes, at the cost of increasing the contribution of the relabelings.
