Abstract
We give the first correct O(n log n) algorithm for finding a
maximum single-source, single-sink maximum st-flow in a
directed planar graph. After a preprocessing step that
consists of finding single-source shortest path distances in
the dual, the algorithms consists of repeatedly saturating
the leftmost residual s-to-t path. While the algorithm is
very simple, the analysis is more complicated.
I also will overview other planar graph algorithms that we
are working on.
