Edmonds-Karp

swMATH ID: 28548
Software Authors: Lammich, Peter; Sefidgar, S. Reza
Description: Formalizing the Edmonds-Karp algorithm. We present a formalization of the Ford-Fulkerson method for computing the maximum flow in a network. Our formal proof closely follows a standard textbook proof, and is accessible even without being an expert in Isabelle/HOL – the interactive theorem prover used for the formalization. We then use stepwise refinement to obtain the Edmonds-Karp algorithm, and formally prove a bound on its complexity. Further refinement yields a verified implementation, whose execution time compares well to an unverified reference implementation in Java.
