Real-world graphs are massive in size and we need a huge amount of space to store them. Graph compression allows us to compress a graph so that we need a lesser number of bits per link to store it. Of many techniques to compress a graph, a…

Given a large edge-weighted network $G$ with $k$ terminal vertices, we wish to compress it and store, using little memory, the value of the minimum cut (or equivalently, maximum flow) between every bipartition of terminals. One appealing…
