Abstract
The intest of this paper is to demonstrate the construction of a network flow problem which will force the Karzanov "Preflow" algorithm to run in its theoretic worst case time 0(n^3). Once such a "bad case" network has been constructed, an analysis is performed to determine the exact time required by the algorithm to computer the maximum flow through the network.
