We present a new algorithm for the problem of determining the intersection of a half-line
$\Delta_{u}=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}\:|\:x=\lambda u\;\mathrm {for}\;\lambda \geq 0\}$
with a polymatroid. We then propose a second algorithm which generalizes the first algorithm and solves a parametric linear program. We prove that these two algorithms are strongly polynomial and that their running time is
O
(
n

+
γ

) where
γ
is the time for an oracle call. The second algorithm gives a polynomial algorithm to solve the submodular function minimization problem and to compute simultaneously the strength of a network with complexity bound
