Talk:Edmonds–Karp algorithm

In the article, it is stated that "The distinguishing feature is that the shortest augmenting path is used at each step, which guarantees that the computation will terminate." However, as I understand it, the use of the shortest augmenting path ensure a faster running time than using breadth-running time. The terminiation of the computation is also ensured in the other algorithms based on Ford-Fulkerson, and has as such nothing to do with the breadth-first search. I will try to work on this entry at a later stage.--Kristjan Wager 09:52, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
