The document summarizes the push-relabel algorithm for solving maximum flow problems. It states that the push-relabel algorithm was described by Andrew Goldberg and Robert Tarjan and leads to better running times than previous network flow algorithms. It works by exploiting the fact that multiple augmentations may partially share paths. The push-relabel algorithm is considered the fastest maximum flow algorithm and is not difficult to code.

- 2. Push-relabel algorithm is described by Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Robert E.Tarjan. Leads to better running times, both in theory and practice. All previous Network Flow related algorithms are related to augmentation. A draw back of aug-based schemes: each augmentation takes O(n) time. Multiple augmentations may partially share paths, but it’s not exploited by algorithms. Not very hard to code. Push relabel is consider as the Fastest maximum-flow algorithm.
