Zusammenfassung:A bit-arc capacity scaling algorithm to solve the maximal flow problem subjected to box constraints on the flow vector in directed network has been presented. The algorithm is mainly based on successive divisions of capacities by multiples of two. It solves the maximal flow problem as a sequence of O(n2) Dijkstra's shortest path between two nodes in the defined residual network with n nodes and m arcs. It is proven that, the algorithm's complexity was estimated to be no more than O(n2mr) arithmetic operations in the worst case to reach the maximum vector flow through the directed network. Where r denotes to the smallest integer greater than or equal to log B, and B denotes to the largest arc capacity of the network. A numerical example has been illustrated using the proposed algorithm.
