The maximum integer multiterminal flow problem in directed graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Given an arc-capacitated digraph and k terminal vertices, the directed maximum integer multiterminal flow problem is to route the maximum number of flow units between the terminals. We introduce a new parameter kL k for this problem and study its complexity with respect to kL. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Directed domination in oriented hypergraphs
ErdH{o}s [On Sch"utte problem, Math. Gaz. 47 (1963)] proved that every tournament on $n$ vertices has a directed dominating set of at most $log (n+1)$ vertices, where $log$ is the logarithm to base $2$. He also showed that there is a tournament on $n$ vertices with no directed domination set of cardinality less than $log n - 2 log log n + 1$. This notion of directed domination number has been g...
متن کاملReducing Directed Max Flow to Undirected Max Flow and Bipartite Matching
In this paper, we prove two new results related to finding maximum flows in directed graphs and finding maximum matchings in bipartite graphs. In our first result, we derive a new algorithm for finding maximum flows in directed graphs. Our algorithm works by reducing a maximum flow problem on a directed graph to a maximum flow problem on an undirected graph, and running the Karger-Levine algori...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Multiterminal Cuts
In the Multiterminal Cut problem we are given an edge-weighted graph and a subset of the vertices called terminals, and asked for a minimum weight set of edges that separates each terminal from all the others. When the number k of terminals is two, this is simply the mincut, max-flow problem, and can be solved in polynomial time. We show that the problem becomes NP-hard as soon as k = 3, but ca...
متن کاملMinimal multicut and maximal integer multiflow: A survey
We present a survey about the maximum integral multiflow and minimum multicut problems and their subproblems, such as the multiterminal cut and the unsplittable flow problems. We consider neither continuous multiflow nor minimum cost multiflow. Most of the results are very recent and some are new. We recall the dual relationship between both problems, give complexity results and algorithms, fir...
متن کاملFlows in One-Crossing-Minor-Free Graphs
We study the maximum flow problem in directed H-minorfree graphs where H can be drawn in the plane with one crossing. If a structural decomposition of the graph as a clique-sum of planar graphs and graphs of constant complexity is given, we show that a maximum flow can be computed in O(n logn) time. In particular, maximum flows in directed K3,3-minor-free graphs and directed K5-minor-free graph...
