Maximum capacity path problem with loss factors

Discrete Mathematics 2023-12-12 v1

Abstract

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 capacity path problem. The problem is a network flow optimization problem whose network contains capacities as well as loss factors for arcs. The aim of the problem is to find a path from an origin to a destination so as to send a maximum flow along the path considering loss factors and respecting capacity constraints. The paper presents a zero-one formulation of the problem and moreover, it presents two efficient algorithms which solve the problem in polynomial time.
