We give an algorithm for computing exact maximum flows on graphs with $m$ edges and integer capacities in the range $[1, U]$ in $\widetilde{O}(m^{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{328}} \log U)$ time. For sparse graphs with polynomially bounded…

We consider an undirected multi(commodity)flow demand problem in which a supply graph is planar, each source-sink pair is located on one of three specified faces of the graph, and the capacities and demands are integer-valued and Eulerian.…
In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…

We propose a new algorithm to obtain max flow for the multicommodity flow. This algorithm utilizes the max-flow min-cut theorem and the well known labeling algorithm due to Ford and Fulkerson [1]. We proceed as follows: We select one…

In 2022, Chen et al. proposed an algorithm in \cite{main} that solves the min cost flow problem in $m^{1 + o(1)} \log U \log C$ time, where $m$ is the number of edges in the graph, $U$ is an upper bound on capacities and $C$ is an upper…
We present a novel approach to finding the $k$-sink on dynamic path networks with general edge capacities. Our first algorithm runs in $O(n \log n + k^2 \log^4 n)$ time, where $n$ is the number of vertices on the given path, and our second…
We provide a new algebraic technique to solve the sequential flow problem in polynomial space. The task is to maximise the flow through a graph where edge capacities can be changed over time by choosing a sequence of capacity labelings from…
The Max-Cut problem is known to be NP-hard on general graphs, while it can be solved in polynomial time on planar graphs. In this paper, we present a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the problem on `almost' planar graphs: Given an…
