Assignment #4 (80 Points)
Due: April 18, 2013 (at the beginning of class)
Problem Description
Write a java program that will implement the maximum flow problem discussed in class. The
program should read itsinput from a text file. The input will be in the form of an n x n matrix,
where n isthe number of nodesin the network. Specifically, input will consist of n lines where
each line has a collection of n integers, with each pair of integers separated by a single space.
The value in the i
th row and the j
th column of the matrix represents the capacity of the
connection from the i
th node to the j
th node. A value of -1 indicatesthat there is no link from
node ito node j. Note thatthematrix represents a directed network.
The output of the program should be the maximum flow that can be produced by the input
network. This can be computed from the sum of the outgoing flows from the source or the
incoming flows of the sink. The first node will be the network’ssource, and the last node will
be the network’ssink.
Sample Input
-1 4 2 1 -1
-1 -1 1 -1 2
-1 -1 -1 1 2
-1 -1 -1 -1 3
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
SampleOutput
The outputto the programshould be themaximumflow, 6.
