In the article, it is stated that "The distinguishing feature is that the shortest augmenting path is used at each step, which guarantees that the computation will terminate." However, as I understand it, the use of the shortest augmenting path ensure a faster running time than using breadth-running time. The terminiation of the computation is also ensured in the other algorithms based on Ford-Fulkerson, and has as such nothing to do with the breadth-first search. I will try to work on this entry at a later stage.--Kristjan Wager 09:52, 31 May 2005 (UTC)Reply
