Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a capacitated, directed network of pipes. The numbers in circles
represent an initial flow from S to T. The other number on each arc represents the
capacity, in litres per second, of the corresponding pipe.
(a) (i) State the value of x
(ii) State the value of y
(2)
(b) State the value of the initial flow.
(1)
(c) State the capacity of cut C1
(1)
(d) Find, by inspection, a flow‑augmenting route to increase the flow by four units.
You must state your route.
(1)
The flow‑augmenting route from (d) is used to increase the flow from S to T.
(e) Prove that the flow is now maximal.
(3)
A vertex restriction is now applied so that no more than 12 litres per second can flow
through E.
(f) (i) Complete Diagram 1 in the answer book to show this restriction.
(ii) State the value of the maximum flow through the network with this restriction.
