To show the multi-source, multiple-sink flow network corresponds to a flow of identical value in the single-source, single-sink network obtained by adding a supersource and supersink and vice versa.

Show that the loop invariant, which states that it always retains a legal flow, is maintained by the network flow algorithm described in this section. Show that the flow changes don't breach any edge capacities or cause leaks at any nodes to accomplish this. Show that progress is being made by increasing overall flow as well. Use caution when using the plus and negative symbols.
What is a simple example of a network that has no bottleneck edges and is a valid flow network?
Prove that the network flow algorithm presented in this section maintains the loop invariant that it always holds a legal flow. Do this by proving that the changes to the flow do not violate any edge capacities or create leaks at nodes. Also prove that progress is made because the total flow increases. You need to be careful with your plus and minus signs.
