def minimum_edge_cut(G, s=None, t=None, flow_func=None):
    r"""Returns a set of edges of minimum cardinality that disconnects G.

    If source and target nodes are provided, this function returns the
    set of edges of minimum cardinality that, if removed, would break
    all paths among source and target in G. If not, it returns a set of
    edges of minimum cardinality that disconnects G.

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph

    s : node
        Source node. Optional. Default value: None.

    t : node
        Target node. Optional. Default value: None.

    flow_func : function
        A function for computing the maximum flow among a pair of nodes.
        The function has to accept at least three parameters: a Digraph, 
        a source node, and a target node. And return a residual network 
        that follows NetworkX conventions (see :meth:`maximum_flow` for 
        details). If flow_func is None, the default maximum flow function 
        (:meth:`edmonds_karp`) is used. See below for details. The
        choice of the default function may change from version
        to version and should not be relied on. Default value: None.

    Returns
    -------
    cutset : set
        Set of edges that, if removed, would disconnect G. If source
        and target nodes are provided, the set contains the edges that
        if removed, would destroy all paths between source and target.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> # Platonic icosahedral graph has edge connectivity 5
    >>> G = nx.icosahedral_graph()
    >>> len(nx.minimum_edge_cut(G))
    5

    You can use alternative flow algorithms for the underlying 
    maximum flow computation. In dense networks the algorithm 
    :meth:`shortest_augmenting_path` will usually perform better 
    than the default :meth:`edmonds_karp`, which is faster for 
    sparse networks with highly skewed degree distributions.
    Alternative flow functions have to be explicitly imported
    from the flow package.

    >>> from networkx.algorithms.flow import shortest_augmenting_path
    >>> len(nx.minimum_edge_cut(G, flow_func=shortest_augmenting_path))
    5

    If you specify a pair of nodes (source and target) as parameters,
    this function returns the value of local edge connectivity.

    >>> nx.edge_connectivity(G, 3, 7)
    5

    If you need to perform several local computations among different
    pairs of nodes on the same graph, it is recommended that you reuse
    the data structures used in the maximum flow computations. See 
    :meth:`local_edge_connectivity` for details.

    Notes
    -----
    This is a flow based implementation of minimum edge cut. For
    undirected graphs the algorithm works by finding a 'small' dominating
    set of nodes of G (see algorithm 7 in [1]_) and computing the maximum
    flow between an arbitrary node in the dominating set and the rest of
    nodes in it. This is an implementation of algorithm 6 in [1]_. For 
    directed graphs, the algorithm does n calls to the max flow function.
    The function raises an error if the directed graph is not weakly
    connected and returns an empty set if it is weakly connected.
    It is an implementation of algorithm 8 in [1]_.

        Auxiliary digraph to compute flow based node connectivity. It has

    Examples
    --------
    This function is not imported in the base NetworkX namespace, so you
    have to explicitly import it from the connectivity package:

    >>> from networkx.algorithms.connectivity import minimum_st_edge_cut

    We use in this example the platonic icosahedral graph, which has edge
    connectivity 5.

    >>> G = nx.icosahedral_graph()
    >>> len(minimum_st_edge_cut(G, 0, 6))

    If you need to compute local edge cuts on several pairs of
    nodes in the same graph, it is recommended that you reuse the
    data structures that NetworkX uses in the computation: the 
    auxiliary digraph for edge connectivity, and the residual
    network for the underlying maximum flow computation.

    Example of how to compute local edge cuts among all pairs of
    nodes of the platonic icosahedral graph reusing the data 
    structures.

    >>> # You also have to explicitly import the function for 
    >>> # building the auxiliary digraph from the connectivity package

    >>> # And the function for building the residual network from the

    >>> result = dict.fromkeys(G, dict())
    >>> # Reuse the auxiliary digraph and the residual network by passing them

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph
        Undirected or directed graph

    s : node
        Source node

    t : node
        Target node

    flow_func : function
        A function for computing the maximum flow among a pair of nodes.
        The function has to accept at least three parameters: a Digraph,
        a source node, and a target node. And return a residual network
        that follows NetworkX conventions (see :meth:`maximum_flow` for

        to version and should not be relied on. Default value: None.

    auxiliary : NetworkX DiGraph
        Auxiliary digraph for computing flow based edge connectivity. If
        provided it will be reused instead of recreated. Default value: None.

    residual : NetworkX DiGraph
        Residual network to compute maximum flow. If provided it will be
        reused instead of recreated. Default value: None.

        local edge connectivity for nodes s and t.

    Examples
    --------
    This function is not imported in the base NetworkX namespace, so you

    We use in this example the platonic icosahedral graph, which has edge
    connectivity 5.

    >>> G = nx.icosahedral_graph()
    >>> local_edge_connectivity(G, 0, 6)
    5

    If you need to compute local connectivity on several pairs of
    nodes in the same graph, it is recommended that you reuse the
    data structures that NetworkX uses in the computation: the
    auxiliary digraph for edge connectivity, and the residual
    network for the underlying maximum flow computation.

    Example of how to compute local edge connectivity among
    all pairs of nodes of the platonic icosahedral graph reusing
    the data structures.

    >>> import itertools
    >>> # You also have to explicitly import the function for
    >>> # building the auxiliary digraph from the connectivity package
    >>> from networkx.algorithms.connectivity import (
    ...     build_auxiliary_edge_connectivity)
    >>> H = build_auxiliary_edge_connectivity(G)
    >>> # And the function for building the residual network from the
    >>> # flow package
    >>> from networkx.algorithms.flow import build_residual_network
    >>> # Note that the auxiliary digraph has an edge attribute named capacity
    >>> R = build_residual_network(H, 'capacity')
    >>> result = dict.fromkeys(G, dict())
    >>> # Reuse the auxiliary digraph and the residual network by passing them
    >>> # as parameters
    >>> for u, v in itertools.combinations(G, 2):
    ...     k = local_edge_connectivity(G, u, v, auxiliary=H, residual=R)
    ...     result[u][v] = k
    >>> all(result[u][v] == 5 for u, v in itertools.combinations(G, 2))
    True

    You can also use alternative flow algorithms for computing edge
    connectivity. For instance, in dense networks the algorithm
    :meth:`shortest_augmenting_path` will usually perform better than
    the default :meth:`edmonds_karp` which is faster for sparse
    networks with highly skewed degree distributions. Alternative flow
    functions have to be explicitly imported from the flow package.

    >>> from networkx.algorithms.flow import shortest_augmenting_path
    >>> local_edge_connectivity(G, 0, 6, flow_func=shortest_augmenting_path)
    5

    Notes
    -----
    This is a flow based implementation of edge connectivity. We compute the
    maximum flow using, by default, the :meth:`edmonds_karp` algorithm on an
    auxiliary digraph build from the original input graph:

    If the input graph is undirected, we replace each edge (`u`,`v`) with
    two reciprocal arcs (`u`, `v`) and (`v`, `u`) and then we set the attribute
    'capacity' for each arc to 1. If the input graph is directed we simply
    add the 'capacity' attribute. This is an implementation of algorithm 1
    in [1]_.

    The maximum flow in the auxiliary network is equal to the local edge
    connectivity because the value of a maximum s-t-flow is equal to the
    capacity of a minimum s-t-cut (Ford and Fulkerson theorem).

    Edge disjoint paths are paths that do not share any edge. The

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph

    s : node
        Source node for the flow.

    t : node
        Sink node for the flow.

    flow_func : function
        A function for computing the maximum flow among a pair of nodes.
        The function has to accept at least three parameters: a Digraph, 
        a source node, and a target node. And return a residual network 
        that follows NetworkX conventions (see :meth:`maximum_flow` for 
        details). If flow_func is None, the default maximum flow function 
        (:meth:`edmonds_karp`) is used. The choice of the default function
        may change from version to version and should not be relied on.
        Default value: None.

    cutoff : int
        Maximum number of paths to yield. Some of the maximum flow
        algorithms, such as :meth:`edmonds_karp` (the default) and 
        :meth:`shortest_augmenting_path` support the cutoff parameter,
        and will terminate when the flow value reaches or exceeds the
        cutoff. Other algorithms will ignore this parameter.
        Default value: None.

    auxiliary : NetworkX DiGraph
        Auxiliary digraph to compute flow based edge connectivity. It has
        to have a graph attribute called mapping with a dictionary mapping
        node names in G and in the auxiliary digraph. If provided
        it will be reused instead of recreated. Default value: None.

    residual : NetworkX DiGraph
        Residual network to compute maximum flow. If provided it will be
        reused instead of recreated. Default value: None.

    Returns
    -------
    paths : generator
        A generator of edge independent paths.

    Raises
    ------
    NetworkXNoPath : exception
        If there is no path between source and target.

    NetworkXError : exception
        If source or target are not in the graph G.

    Examples
    --------
    We use in this example the platonic icosahedral graph, which has node
    edge connectivity 5, thus there are 5 edge disjoint paths between any
    pair of nodes.

    >>> G = nx.icosahedral_graph()
    >>> len(list(nx.edge_disjoint_paths(G, 0, 6)))
    5


    If you need to compute edge disjoint paths on several pairs of
    nodes in the same graph, it is recommended that you reuse the
    data structures that NetworkX uses in the computation: the 
    auxiliary digraph for edge connectivity, and the residual
    network for the underlying maximum flow computation.

    Example of how to compute edge disjoint paths among all pairs of
    nodes of the platonic icosahedral graph reusing the data 
    structures.

    >>> # building the auxiliary digraph from the connectivity package
    >>> from networkx.algorithms.connectivity import (
    ...     build_auxiliary_edge_connectivity)
    >>> H = build_auxiliary_edge_connectivity(G)
    >>> # And the function for building the residual network from the
    >>> # flow package
    >>> from networkx.algorithms.flow import build_residual_network
    >>> # Note that the auxiliary digraph has an edge attribute named capacity
    >>> R = build_residual_network(H, 'capacity')
    >>> result = {n: {} for n in G}
    >>> # Reuse the auxiliary digraph and the residual network by passing them
    >>> # as arguments
    >>> for u, v in itertools.combinations(G, 2):
    ...     k = len(list(nx.edge_disjoint_paths(G, u, v, auxiliary=H, residual=R)))
    ...     result[u][v] = k
    >>> all(result[u][v] == 5 for u, v in itertools.combinations(G, 2))
    True

    You can also use alternative flow algorithms for computing edge disjoint
    paths. For instance, in dense networks the algorithm

    Notes
    -----
    This is a flow based implementation of edge disjoint paths. We compute
    the maximum flow between source and target on an auxiliary directed
    network. The saturated edges in the residual network after running the
    maximum flow algorithm correspond to edge disjoint paths between source
    and target in the original network. This function handles both directed
    and undirected graphs, and can use all flow algorithms from NetworkX flow
    package.
