How does the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm handle multiple sources and sinks in a network?
- It cannot handle multiple sources and sinks simultaneously.
- Multiple sources and sinks are treated as a single source and sink pair.
- The algorithm processes each source-sink pair independently and aggregates the results.
- The handling of multiple sources and sinks depends on the network structure.
The Ford-Fulkerson algorithm handles multiple sources and sinks by processing each source-sink pair independently. It performs iterations considering one source and one sink at a time, calculating flows and augmenting paths accordingly. The results are then aggregated to obtain the overall maximum flow for the entire network.
