Abstract :
The discussion by R. Schanzer (see ibid., vol.44, p.620-1, 1995) tries to correct the algorithms of P.K. Varshney, et al. (see ibid., vol.43, p.378-82, 1994) and K.K Aggarwal (see ibid., vol.37, p.65-9, 1988). But Schanzer doesn´t explain why those algorithms have difficulty in calculating the maximum flow. This paper explains the problem and gives a correction of the algorithm so that the basic problem can be solved
