We independently assign a non-negative value, as a capacity for the quantity of flows per unit time, with a distribution F to each edge on the Z^d lattice. We consider the maximum flows through the edges of two disjoint sets, that is from a…

Network flow interdiction analysis studies by how much the value of a maximum flow in a network can be diminished by removing components of the network constrained to some budget. Although this problem is strongly NP-complete on general…

We investigate flows on graphs whose links have random capacities. For binary trees we derive the probability distribution for the maximal flow from the root to a leaf, and show that for infinite trees it vanishes beyond a certain threshold…

Given a set of source-sink pairs, the maximum multiflow problem asks for the maximum total amount of flow that can be feasibly routed between them. The minimum multicut, a dual problem to multiflow, seeks the minimum-cost set of edges whose…

The maximum capacity path problem is to find a path from a source to a sink which has the maximum capacity among all paths. This paper addresses an extension of this problem which considers loss factors. It is called the generalized maximum…
