A monitoring edge-geodetic set of a graph is a subset $M$ of its vertices such that for every edge $e$ in the graph, deleting $e$ increases the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $M$. We study the following computational…

A dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex $v\in V\setminus S$ has at least one neighbor in set $S$. The corresponding optimization problem is known to be NP-hard. The best known…

Flows and colorings are disparate concepts in graph algorithms -- the former is tractable while the latter is intractable. Tutte introduced the concept of nowhere-zero flows to unify these two concepts. Jaeger showed that nowhere-zero flows…

Dynamic Flows were introduced by Ford and Fulkerson in 1958 to model flows over time. They define edge capacities to be the total amount of flow that can enter an edge {\em in one time unit}. Each edge also has a length, representing the…

In this paper we study flow problems on temporal networks, where edge capacities and travel times change over time. We consider a network with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges where the capacity and length of each edge is a piecewise constant…

Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a designated source vertex $s\in V$, we consider the question of finding a sparse subgraph $H$ of $G$ that preserves the flow from $s$ up to a given threshold $\lambda$…

In this paper we show an O(n^(3/2) log^2 n) time algorithm for finding a maximum flow in a planar graph with multiple sources and multiple sinks. This is the fastest algorithm whose running time depends only on the number of vertices in the…

In contrast to traditional flow networks, in additive flow networks, to every edge e is assigned a gain factor g(e) which represents the loss or gain of the flow while using edge e. Hence, if a flow f(e) enters the edge e and f(e) is less…
