I agree, it's not nice to discuss his ethnicity in this article. But the fact that the algorithm was invented in the USSR and not in the West looks to me historically significant and it should be somehow mentioned in the article, perhaps at least by mentioning the journal in which the algorithm was

This article uses the name "Yefim (Chaim) A. Dinitz", but I can't find any reference for the alternate name "Chaim", and I don't see it in the Russian version of the article. (There's no linked Hebrew version of the article at the moment. The source cited is just a translation of the original paper

I don't understand how the Example ("simulation") is constructed starting the very first step, the initial "guess"(?) G_L in row "1." of the table. Why is there no flow from node (1) to node (2), but maximum flow of 4 from (1) to (3)? I understand that from (s) I can send 10 units to (1). I could
359:
I suggest that the segment in the first paragraph that refers to Dinitz as formerly Soviet be removed from the article. Also, consider changing Israeli to Jewish or removing the reference to his ethnic background altogether. Finally a link to his personal homepage may be in order (see here:
331:
Do we have any evidence to believe that he had renounced his Russian citizenship? If not, should we state that he is "former Russian"? Unless we are talking about ethnicity, in which case, he should have always been Jewish, and not either Israeli or Russian... just a thought ...
219:
Well he explains it right there in his article. Shimon Even first popularized the algorithm in the west under the name "Dinic'c algorithm", which was "rendered incorrectly as instead of ". That explains why alternative spellings of Dinitz's name are so rarely seen. --

I don't see how it could possibly suggest that. It says that there are at most n-1 = O(V) blocking flows to be found and finding each one takes O(VE) time. Multiplying these quantities you get O(V^2 E). --

where did you get the inputs used in every path...? i'am applying this algorithm with my case study.and my problem is that i don't know where will i derived the inputs? please help me...

Why is the Algorithm called Dinic's algorithm, when the guy who invented it is called Yefim Dinitz? That doesn't make sense to me - I think it should be both written the same.

also send 10 units to (2), but since this isn't done, I assume that we go on (in "depth first" mode) with outgoing arrows from node (1) and don't consider the edge (s)--: -->
310: 274: 408:
I might be missing something, but it seems as if the running time should be O(VE^2) rather than O(V^2E)? That's what the information in the Analysis seems to suggest.
