    N = a balanced network (bipartite directed graph) of:
        n=2*V+2 vertices (incl. s (source) and t (target);
          each other vertex i is included 2 times:
          set X (x[i]) of V vertices (v) and a set Y (y[j]) of
          V complementary vertices (v') so that x[i]' = y[i], x[i]''=x[i], and
        m=2*E+2*V edges (each original undirected edge i-j is represented as
          2 directed edges: x[i]->y[j] and x[j]->y[i]; plus
          V edges s->x[i] and V edges y[j]->t)
    v'   = a complement vertex to v
    v'u' = (uv)' = a complement edge to uv
    rescap(uv) = cap(uv)-f(uv) if uv is a forward edge
               = f(uv)         if uv is a backward edge
    (i)   0 <= f(uv) <= cap(uv)
    (ii)  f+(u) = f-(u) for all u in X, Y where f+(u) is a total flow out of u,
                  and f-(u) is a total flow into u
    (iii) f(uv) = f((uv)') (balanced flow condition)

    S     = a set of all s-searchable vertices
    S-    = all other vertices
    if t in S, then N contains a valid augmenting path P, so that flow can be
            augmented on both P and P'
    if t not in S, then let K=[S,S-], the set of all edges directed from S to S-.
            K is an edge-cut that has a special structure.
    Let
    A  = {x[i], y[i] |x[i] not in S, y[i]     in S}
    B  = {x[i], y[i] |x[i]     in S, y[i] not in S}
    C  = {x[i], y[i] |x[i]     in S, y[i]     in S}
    D  = {x[i], y[i] |x[i] not in S, y[i] not in S}
    N[C]  = subgraph of N induced by C;
            it consists of of a number of connected components C[i]
    K[i]  = those edges of K with one endpoint in C[i].

    If t is in S- then

    i)   Each C[i] = C[i]'
    ii)  There are no edges between C and D
    iii) Each K[i] has odd capacity, it is called a balanced edge-cut.

    balcap(K) = cap(K) - odd(K), where odd(K) is the number of connected components in N[C].
    Name "odd(K)" is because each cap(K[i]) is odd.

    Max-Balanced-Flow-Min-Balanced-Cut Theorem:

    Let f be a balanced flow in N, and let K be any balanced edge-cut.
    The value of a maximum balanced flow equals the capacity of a minimum
    edge-cut, that is, val(f) = balcap(K) when f is maximum and K is minimum.

                       Suppose uv and v'u' are added to a mirror network M creating a blossom:

                                    s            T    (Note: in the code v' is prim(v),

                            u=y2   v'=y3
                                \ /      <--- two added edges uv and (uv)'=v'u'
                     --------    X   ------------intersection of the edges ------------------------
                                / \      <--- (the edges intersection in the picture is shown as X)
                           u'=x2   v=x3      u' it T', v' in T
                                \ /

                                   \ /
                                    t           T'

                       Vertices v and u' now become s-reachable;
                       The valid paths to v and u' must use the edges uv and v'u' respectively.

                       For each vertex z in S we define a switch-edge that allows a valid sz-path
                       to be constructed, SwitchEdge[v]=uv and SwitchEdge[u']=v'u'. (We don't
                       know the direction of the edge uv, it may be (u,v) or (v,u). In either case,
                       the complementary edge is indicated by v'u').

                       Vertex w' also becomes s-reachable when uv is added to M, and a valid sw'-path
                       must use one of uv and v'u'. Therefore we choose one of them, say uv (see below
                       the rule of choosing the switch-edge), and define SwitchEdge[w'] = uv.

                       When the addition of an edge uv to M causes a vertex z to become s-reachable
                       (where z was previously non-reachable), z is placed on the ScanQ, that is, into S.
                       The edge uv is said to be a switch-edge for z.

                       Rule: We choose the the order of the vertices uv to be such that the valid sz-path
                       consists of a valid su-path, followed by edge uv, followed by a valid vz-path.

                       For vertices z in T we can take SwitchEdge[z]=yz where y=PrevPt[z] since
                       it is the edge yz that allows z to be s-reachable.
                       For vertices z not in S we take SwitchEdge[z]=NONE.

Blossoms.

  The vertices of a mirror network M consist T U T'. Intersection T ^ T' is empty.

  The edges of M consist of switch-edges and their complements because edges
  are added in complementary pairs, one of which is always a switch-edge.

  The base of every blossom is in T.
  Let C(i) be a blossom with base b_i. Since C(i)=C(i)', C(i) contains vertices of T and T'.
  Since every valid sv-path to v in C(i) contains b_i, b_i is the first s-reachable vertex of C(i).

  Suppose the mirror network M contains a valid sz-path P(z) to all vertices z in ScanQ.
  Every vertex of P(z) is s-reachable therefore its vertices are all in blossoms or
  trivial blossoms.

  Let z be an s-reachable vertex and P(z) be a valid path in M.
  Then every valid sz-path in M contains exactly the same sequence of blossom bases as P(z).

/********************************************************************************
Before augmenting on the two paths, it is necessary to find delta(P).
This can be done by following the paths and computing the minimum
residual capacity of all edges on P. An edge on both P and P' counts
for only half of its actual residual capacity, since augmentng on P by
delta will simutaneously reduce its capacity on P' by delta.
The path P can only be followed by using the switch-edges, as in PullFlow(...).
FindPathCap( x, y, delta ) is a recursive procedure that finds the residual
capacity on the portion of P between x and y. delta is the minimum capacity
found so far along the path.

                    an atom that is not N.

   Note: it is critically important to takr into account cumbersome Normalization
