The dual algorithm for the minimum-cost flow problem

The minimum-cost flow problem aims to find the cheapest possible way of sending a certain amount of flow through a flow network.

Variables	Meaning
network	The flow network, {node1: {node2: [capacity, cost], node3: [capacity, cost], ...}, ...}
source	The source node
destination	The destination node
f	The pre-defined amount of flow
nn	The number of nodes
dis	List, dis[i][j] denotes the length of the shortest path from node i to node j
path	List, path[i][j] denotes the shortest path from node i to node j
flow	A feasible flow from the source to the destination

Example

if __name__ == '__main__':
    test_network = {
        0: {1: [10, 4], 2: [8, 1]},
        1: {3: [2, 6], 4: [7, 1]},
        2: {1: [5, 2], 3: [10, 3]},
        3: {4: [4, 2]},
        4: {},
    }
    s = 0
    d = 4
    f = 10
    print(main(test_network, s, d, f))
