Decide whether you think the following state is true or false. If it is true, give a short explanation. If it is false, give a counter example. Let G be an arbitrary flow network, with a source s, a sink t, and a positive integer capacity ce on every edge. If ƒ is a maximum s –t flow in G, then f saturates every edge out of s with flow (e.g., for all edges e out of s, we have f(e) = c.).

Let G= (V, E) be an arbitrary flow network with source s and sink t, and a positive integer capacity c(u, v) for each edge (u, v)∈E. Let us call a flow even if the flow in each edge is an even number. Suppose all capacities of edges in G are even numbers. Then,G has a maximum flow with an even flow value.
Let G = (V, E) be a flow network with source s and sink t. We say that an edge e is a bottleneck in G if it belongs to every minimum capacity cut separating s from t. Give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine if a given edge e is a bottleneck in G.
Is it a bottleneck? Let G=(V,E) be a flow network with source s and t sink. We say that an edge e is a bottleneck if it crosses every minimum-capacity cut separating s from t. Give an efficient algorithm to determine if a given edge e is a bottleneck in G and explain the complexity.
Lets say there is a flow network called G and a flow in G called f, we say that f saturates an edge e if the flow value on that edge is equal to its capacity. The flow sat problem is: given a flow network G and a positive integer k, determine if there exists a flow f in G such that f saturates at least k edges of G. Prove that Flow sat is NP-complete.
Suppose you are given a directed graph G = (V, E) with a positive integer capacity ?? on each edge e, a designated source s ∈ V, and a designated sink t ∈ V. You are also given an integer maximum s-t flow value ?? on each edge e. Now suppose we pick a specific edge e belongs E and increase its capacity by one unit. Show how to find a maximum flow in the resulting capacitated graph in O(m + n), where m is the number of edges in G and n is the number on nodes.
Only considering Finite graphs, also note that every flow network has a maximum flow. Which of the following statements are true for all flow networks (G, s, t, c)? • IfG = (V, E) has as cycle then it has at least two different maximum flows. (Recall: two flows f, f' are different if they are different as functions V × V -> R. That is, if f (u, u) + f' (u, v) for some u, v EV. The number of maximum flows is at most the number of minimum cuts. The number of maximum flows is at least the number of minimum cuts. If the value of f is O then f(u, v) = O forallu, U. | The number of maximum flows is 1 or infinity. The number of minimum cuts is finite.
True or false. If true, give a brief explanation justifying the statement. If false, provide a counterexample. - If you are given a flow network (labeled F), let (L,R) be a minimum capacity cut in the flow graph. If the capacity of all of the graph edges is increased by 1, then (L,R) is still a minimum capacity cut in our new modified graph.

Let G = (V, E) be a flow network with source s and sink t. We say that an edge e is a bottleneck if it crosses every minimum-capacity cut separating s from t. Give an eﬀicient algorithm to determine if a given edge e is a bottleneck in G. Analyze the running time of your algorithm.
