Network Flows
Network flows are a corner stone of combinatorial optimization. They
have numerous obvious and unreckoned applications in various areas,
such as traffic, telecommunication, logistics, evacuation problems,
computer science, medicine etc., as well as a lot of theoretical impact, e.g.,
for matchings, mesh generation and reductions.
Striving for models closer to real world problems has motivated our
group to pursue research in two directions: Dynamic flows and
k-splittable flows.
The former reflects the idea that a flow should indeed traverse the network in time. The latter accounts for the
significant requirement of applications that a flow may not be
decomposed in an arbitrary number of paths.
Our research:
And our work on specific traffic problems:
