Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our analysis suggests that the Fujishige-Wolfe s algorithm is dependent on F and has worse dependence on n than the Iwata-Orlin [11] algorithm. To verify this, we conducted empirical study on several standard SFM problems.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Wolfe s Algorithm
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement or link regarding the availability of open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes In Figure 1 (a), we run both on Erdos-Renyi graphs with p = 0.8 and randomly chosen s, t nodes. In Figure 1 (b), we run both on the Iwata group functions [16] with 3 groups.
Dataset Splits No The paper discusses empirical studies but does not provide specific details on training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper describes empirical studies but does not provide any specific hardware specifications such as CPU or GPU models used for the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers for replication.
Experiment Setup Yes In Figure 1 (a), we run both on Erdos-Renyi graphs with p = 0.8 and randomly chosen s, t nodes. In Figure 1 (b), we run both on the Iwata group functions [16] with 3 groups. Perhaps more interestingly, in Figure 1 (c), we ran the Fujishige-Wolfe algorithm on the simple path graph where s, t were the end points, and changed the capacities on the edges of the graph which changed the parameter F.
