We give an O(n log^3 n) algorithm that, given an n-node directed planar graph with arc capacities, a set of source nodes, and a set of sink nodes, finds a maximum flow from the sources to the sinks. Previously, the fastest algorithms known…

I introduce a new approach to the maximum flow problem by a simple algorithm with a slightly better runtime. This approach is based on sorting arcs insight of vertices on a residual graph. This new approach leads to an O(mn^0.5) time bound…
