We discuss efficient augmentation algorithms for the maximum balanced flow problem which run in O(nm 2 ) time. More explicitly, we discuss a balanced network search procedure which finds valid augmenting paths of minimum length in linear time. The algorithms are based on the famous cardinality match

โฆ Synopsis
In previous papers, we discussed the fundamental theory of matching problems and algorithms in terms of a network flow model. In this paper, we present explicit augmentation procedures which apply to the wide range of capacitated matching problems and which are highly efficient for k-factor problems and the f-factor problem.

We discuss a wide range of matching problems in terms of a network flow model. More than this, we start up a matching theory which is very intuitive and independent from the original graph context. This first paper contains a standardized theory for the performance analysis of augmentation algorithm
