Abstract

Maximum flow problems appear in many practical applications. In this paper, we study how to simplify a given directed flow network by finding edges that can be removed without changing the value of the maximum flow. We give a number of approaches which are increasingly more complex and more time-consuming, but in exchange they remove more and more edges from the network.
