Main derivation
S01 · implies
Before
E=\{(s,a),(s,b),(a,b),(a,t),(b,t),(b,a),(z,a)\}After
|E|=7,\quad u\ne v\text{ and each ordered pair occurs once}Conditions: none
Rule: flow_def · Uses: G1
Leaf basis: flow_def
Each edge has endpoints in V, no loop and no duplicate ordered pair; ab and ba are legal distinct edges.
S02 · implies
Before
(f_e,c_e)= (2,3),(1,2),(1,1),(1,2),(2,3),(0,1),(0,0)
After
0\le f_e\le c_e\quad\forall e\in E
Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1, S01
Leaf basis: algebra
Check all seven pairs for nonnegativity and capacity; the zero-capacity edge carries zero flow.
S03 · implies
Before
\operatorname{in}(a)=f_{sa}+f_{ba}+f_{za}=2+0+0After
\operatorname{in}(a)=2=f_{ab}+f_{at}=\operatorname{out}(a)Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1
Leaf basis: algebra
List all three incoming and both outgoing edges of a.
S04 · implies
Before
\operatorname{in}(b)=f_{sb}+f_{ab}=1+1After
\operatorname{in}(b)=2=f_{bt}+f_{ba}=\operatorname{out}(b)Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1
Leaf basis: algebra
The complete inflow and outflow of b agree.
S05 · implies
Before
\operatorname{in}(z)=0,\quad\operatorname{out}(z)=f_{za}=0After
\operatorname{in}(z)=\operatorname{out}(z)Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1
Leaf basis: algebra
z has no inflow and its sole outgoing edge has zero capacity, so conservation holds; it is a zero-flow vertex, not an isolated graph vertex.
S06 · implies
Before
|f|=\operatorname{out}(s)-\operatorname{in}(s)=2+1-0After
|f|=3=\operatorname{in}(t)-\operatorname{out}(t)=1+2-0Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1, S03, S04, S05
Leaf basis: algebra
Source and sink net values independently evaluate to the same result.
S07 · definition
Before
0\le f\le c,\quad\operatorname{in}=\operatorname{out}\text{ at }a,b,zAfter
f\text{ is feasible with value }3Conditions: none
Rule: flow_def · Uses: S01, S02, S03, S04, S05, S06
Leaf basis: flow_def
Only after all edges and internal vertices are checked is feasibility concluded.
S08 · implies
Before
f'=(3,1,1,2,2,0,0)\text{ in the same edge order}After
f'\text{ is feasible with }|f'|=4>3Conditions: none
Rule: algebra · Uses: G1, S07
Leaf basis: algebra
The alternative satisfies every capacity; a has 3 in and 1+2 out, b has 1+1 in and 2 out, and z stays zero, proving the original is not maximum.
