::No, the <math>O(E|f^*|)</math> bound only applies if the capacities are integers. If they are arbitrary real numbers, the Ford-Fulkerson method might fail to terminate and can even converge towards the wrong answer. See [[Ford-Fulkerson algorithm]]. --[[User:Zero0000|Zero]] 20:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 
::: Ok, thank you for clearifying. While I was aware of the problems with Ford-Fulkerson in regards to real numbers, I was unaware that Edmonds-Karp fixed it. Interesting that Cormen et al didn't mention that aspect. I think I need to read the original article. --[[User:Kristjan Wager|Kristjan Wager]] 07:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
