    Solving Maximum Flow Problems on Real World Bipartite Graphs
    ALENEX
    Jan 2009
    In this paper we present an experimental study of several maximum flow algorithms in the context of unbalanced bipartite networks. Our experiments are motivated by a real world problem of managing reservation-based inventory in Google content ad systems. We are interested in observing the performance of several push-relabel algorithms on our real world data sets and also on some generated ones.
