In this paper we consider generalized flow problems where there is an $m$-edge $n$-node directed graph $G = (V,E)$ and each edge $e \in E$ has a loss factor $\gamma_e >0$ governing whether the flow is increased or decreased as it crosses…

In 1996, Karger [Kar96] gave a startling randomized algorithm that finds a minimum-cut in a (weighted) graph in time $O(m\log^3n)$ which he termed near-linear time meaning linear (in the size of the input) times a polylogarthmic factor. In…
