A Min Flow Max Cut Theorem
@inproceedings{Kitchen2007AMF, title={A Min Flow Max Cut Theorem}, author={A. Kitchen}, year={2007} }
Consider a network of pipes joining a set of intakes (the source) to a separate set of outlets (the e n sink), so that liquid flows from the intakes, through the network, to the outlets. A cross-section of th etwork, separating the intakes on one side from the outlets on the other, is called a cut. A minimal t c cut is one that, roughly speaking, slices through a set of pipes whose combined capacity is minimal. I an be shown that if we attempt to force as much liquid as possible through the… Expand
