Push Relabel

"""
Push-relabel (Goldberg-Tarjan) algorithm for the maximum-flow problem.
The push-relabel method takes a very different approach from the augmenting-path
algorithms in this directory (``ford_fulkerson.py`` builds up a valid flow one
path at a time). Instead it works with a *preflow*, in which a vertex may
temporarily receive more flow than it sends out. Each active vertex either
*pushes* its excess towards a neighbour that is one level lower, or is *relabeled*
to a higher level so that a push becomes possible. When no vertex other than the
source and sink has excess, the preflow has become a maximum flow.
Using the highest-label selection rule (always discharge an active vertex whose
label is largest) this implementation runs in O(V^2 * sqrt(E)) time, which beats
the augmenting-path methods on dense graphs.

"""
Maximum flow in a directed graph with non-negative integer capacities.
Add edges with :meth:`add_edge`, then call :meth:`max_flow`.
>>> g = PushRelabel(6)
>>> capacities = {
... (0, 1): 16, (0, 2): 13, (1, 2): 10, (1, 3): 12,

It agrees with the classic four-vertex example:
>>> h = PushRelabel(4)
>>> for (u, v), cap in {(0, 1): 3, (0, 2): 2, (1, 2): 5,
... (1, 3): 2, (2, 3): 3}.items():
... h.add_edge(u, v, cap)
>>> h.max_flow(0, 3)
5
Parallel edges add up, and a disconnected sink gives zero flow:
>>> p = PushRelabel(2)
>>> p.add_edge(0, 1, 3)
>>> p.add_edge(0, 1, 5)
>>> p.max_flow(0, 1)
8
>>> PushRelabel(3).max_flow(0, 2)
