The relationship between the sparsest cut and the maximum concurrent multi-flow in graphs has been studied extensively. For general graphs with $k$ terminal pairs, the flow-cut gap is $O(\log k)$, and this is tight. But when topological…

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…

Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
