Concept
An augmenting path is a path in a flow network that can be used to increase the overall flow from the source to the sink by adjusting the flow along its edges. It is a fundamental component of the Ford-Fulkerson method for computing the maximum flow in a flow network, where repeatedly finding such paths allows for incrementally optimizing the flow until no more augmenting paths exist.

Concept
Resampling is a statistical technique used to estimate the variability of a sample by repeatedly drawing samples from the data and assessing the variation in a statistic of interest. It is commonly used in methods like bootstrapping and permutation tests to provide empirical distributions and confidence intervals without relying on traditional parametric assumptions.
