Показать описание
The Min-st-Cut problem turns out to be the LP dual of the Max-st-Flow problem. Thus the Min-st-Cut equals the Max-st-Flow and both can be computed in polynomial time using Linear Programming. Lecture 18d of "CS Theory Toolkit": a semester-long graduate course on math and CS fundamentals for research in theoretical computer science, taught at Carnegie Mellon University.

Oh wow. I stared for a full hour at the dual problem and didn't realize that it is equivalent to the Min-st-Cut-problem. I'm so thankful that this video exists ^^
