## Abstract The problem of realizing a given matrix on an undirected flow network has been studied and various results have been obtained. Most of these results consist of necessary and sufficient conditions for methods of realization in which the maximum good flow between the two points and the ma

β¦ Synopsis
Problems concerning the optimum location of various devices installed in transport, communication, and other types of networks relate to the so-called location on network problems. In this paper, we show how an expanded multiple cover problem can be solved in polynomial time for the case of an undirected flow network, which is a special case of the location problem on flow networks. Up to now, such problems were solved in polynomial time for conditions when values of the flow to each vertex were set above a certain constant magnitude. Here, we show the possibility of solving these problems by a simple algorithm even in cases where these magnitudes are different for each vertex.

## Abstract Given a transportation flow network with two arcs in antiparallel, if the capacities of all other arcs are fixed and the demands at sinks are fixed, at least one of the two arcs will be irrelevant to the problem of flow feasibility. As a consequence, in a stochastic setting, two arcs in
## Abstract Aiming at establishing a firm basic theory to ringβbased information network management systems, our paper proposes a tieβset graph theory. We define a binary vector representing a tieβset in a biconnected undirected graph __G__=(__V__,__E__) as a tieβset vector. The set of tieβset vect
