The maximum achievable capacity from source to destination in a network is limited by the min-cut max-flow bound; this serves as a converse limit. In practice, link capacities often fluctuate due to dynamic network conditions. In this work,…

The multicast capacity of a directed network is closely related to the $s$-$t$ maximum flow, which is equal to the $s$-$t$ minimum cut capacity due to the max-flow min-cut theorem. If the topology of a network (or link capacities) is…

Intrigued by the capacity of random networks, we start by proving a max-flow min-cut theorem that is applicable to any random graph obeying a suitably defined independence-in-cut property. We then show that this property is satisfied by…
