In mathematics, matching in graphs such as bipartite matching uses this same algorithm. Calculate maximum flow in biograph object matlab maxflow.
The ford fulkerson algorithm is simply an algorithm to compute the maximum flow, which relates directly to the minimum cut so its pretty much the same thing. Lets take an image to explain how the above definition wants to say. Minimum cut and maximum flow like maximum bipartite matching, this is another problem which can solved using fordfulkerson algorithm. Output cut is a logical row vector indicating the nodes connected to snode after calculating the minimum cut between snode and tnode. However, all three max flow algorithms in this visualization stop when there is no more augmenting path possible and report the max flow value and the assignment of flow on each edge in the flow graph.
