        This software library implements the maxflow algorithm
        described in

                "An Experimental Comparison of Min-Cut/Max-Flow Algorithms for Energy Minimization in Vision."
                Yuri Boykov and Vladimir Kolmogorov.
                In IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI),
                September 2004

        This algorithm was developed by Yuri Boykov and Vladimir Kolmogorov
        at Siemens Corporate Research. To make it available for public use,
        it was later reimplemented by Vladimir Kolmogorov based on open publications.

        If you use this software for research purposes, you should cite
        the aforementioned paper in any resulting publication.

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------

        REUSING TREES:

        Starting with version 3.0, there is a also an option of reusing search
        trees from one maxflow computation to the next, as described in

                "Efficiently Solving Dynamic Markov Random Fields Using Graph Cuts."
                Pushmeet Kohli and Philip H.S. Torr
                International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2005

        If you use this option, you should cite
        the aforementioned paper in any resulting publication.

        //
        // Advantage compared to deleting Graph and allocating it again:
        // no calls to delete/new (which could be quite slow).
        //

        //   add_edge(i,j),set_rcap(a)       => call mark_node(i); mark_node(j)
        //
        // This option makes sense only if a small part of the graph is changed.
        // The initialization procedure goes only through marked nodes then.
        //
        // mark_node(i) can either be called before or after graph modification.
        // Can be called more than once per node, but calls after the first one
        // do not have any effect.
        //
        // NOTE:
        //   - This option cannot be used in the first call to maxflow().
        //   - It is not necessary to call mark_node() if the change is ``not essential'',
        //     i.e. sign(trcap) is preserved for a node and zero/nonzero status is preserved for an arc.
        //   - To check that you marked all necessary nodes, you can call maxflow(false) after calling maxflow(true).
        //     If everything is correct, the two calls must return the same value of flow. (Useful for debugging).
        void mark_node(node_id i);

        //
        // NOTE:
        //  - If changed_list option is used, then reuse_trees must be used as well.
        //  - In the example above, the user may omit calls g->remove_from_changed_list(i) and changed_list->Reset() in a given iteration.
        //    Then during the next call to maxflow(true, &changed_list) new nodes will be added to changed_list.
