초록

Special structure of flow networks can reduce the order of the relative existent algorithms. In this paper a special structure of flow network called self-similar f1ow networks is introduced, After describing such networks an efficient algorithm for finding maximum flow is presented. It is shown that this algorithm runs in O(m) time.
