Rectified flow (Liu et al., 2022; Liu, 2022; Wu et al., 2023) is a method for defining a transport map between two distributions, and enjoys popularity in machine learning, although theoretical results supporting the validity of these…

The connections in many networks are not merely binary entities, either present or not, but have associated weights that record their strengths relative to one another. Recent studies of networks have, by and large, steered clear of such…

We consider wall-to-wall transport of a passive tracer by divergence-free velocity vector fields $\mathbf{u}$. Given an enstrophy budget $\langle |\nabla \mathbf{u}|^{2} \rangle \le Pe^{2}$ we construct steady two-dimensional flows that…

The control flow graph (CFG) representation of a procedure used by virtually all flow-sensitive program analyses, admits a large number of infeasible control flow paths i.e., these paths do not occur in any execution of the program. Hence…

A directed acyclic network is considered where all the terminals need to recover the sum of the symbols generated at all the sources. We call such a network a sum-network. It is shown that there exists a solvably (and linear solvably)…

We introduce a geometric theory of payment channel networks that centers the polytope $W_G$ of feasible wealth distributions; liquidity states $L_G$ project onto $W_G$ via strict circulations. A payment is feasible iff the post-transfer…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of simple graphs (or multigraphs) $G$ such that for each $G \in \mathcal{G}$ there exists at least two non-empty disjoint proper subsets $V_{1},V_{2}\subseteq V(G)$ satisfying $V(G)\setminus(V_{1} \cup…

The aim of this paper is to present an algorithm which gives all the possible paths that start from a specific node to another of a weighted multi-graph. This algorithm is intended to be applied for the direct topological method.

We consider a basic model of a dynamical distribution network, modeled as a directed graph with storage variables corresponding to every vertex and flow inputs corresponding to every edge, subject to unknown but constant inflows and…

In network flow problems, there is a well-known one-to-one relationship between extreme points of the feasibility region and trees in the associated undirected graph. The same is true for the dual differential problem. In this paper, we…

We introduce a variant of the multiway cut that we call the min-max connected multiway cut. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\Gamma\subseteq V$ of $t$ terminals, partition $V$ into $t$ parts such that each part is connected and contains…

We give an $O(n^{1.5} \log n)$ algorithm that, given a directed planar graph with arc capacities, a set of source nodes and a single sink node, finds a maximum flow from the sources to the sink . This is the first subquadratic-time strongly…

Data flow analysis and optimization is considered for homogeneous rectangular mesh networks. We propose a flow matrix equation which allows a closed-form characterization of the nature of the minimal time solution, speedup and a simple…

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…

In the Time-Windows Unsplittable Flow on a Path problem (twUFP) we are given a resource whose available amount changes over a given time interval (modeled as the edge-capacities of a given path $G$) and a collection of tasks. Each task is…

The paper proposes a solution an actual scientific problem related to load balancing and efficient utilization of resources of the distributed system. The proposed method is based on calculation of load CPU, memory, and bandwidth by flows…

In the minimum Multicut problem, the input is an edge-weighted supply graph $G=(V,E)$ and a simple demand graph $H=(V,F)$. Either $G$ and $H$ are directed (DMulC) or both are undirected (UMulC). The goal is to remove a minimum weight set of…

A multipacking in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $M\subseteq V$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$ and for every integer $r\geq 1$, the ball of radius $r$ around $v$ contains at most $r$ vertices of $M$, that is, there are at most…

Execution graphs of parallel loop programs exhibit a nested, repeating structure. We show how such graphs that are the result of nested repetition can be represented by succinct parametric structures. This parametric graph template…

A network $\mathcal{N}$ is formed by a (multi)digraph $D$ together with a \emph{capacity function} $u : A(D) \to R_+$, and it is denoted by $\mathcal{N} = (D,u)$. A flow on $\mathcal{N}$ is a function $x: A(D) \to R_+$ such that $x(a) \leq…
