Réseau de flot

Résumé

En théorie des graphes, un réseau de flot (aussi appelé réseau de transport) est un graphe orienté où chaque arête possède une capacité et peut recevoir un flot (ou flux). Le cumul des flots sur une arête ne peut pas excéder sa capacité. Un graphe orienté est souvent appelé réseau en recherche opérationnelle. Les sommets sont alors appelés des nœuds et les arêtes des arcs. Pour qu'un flot soit valide, il faut que la somme des flots atteignant un nœud soit égale à la somme des flots quittant ce nœud, sauf s'il s'agit d'une source (qui n'a pas de flot entrant), ou d'un puits (qui n'a pas de flot sortant). Un réseau peut être utilisé pour modéliser le trafic dans un réseau routier, la circulation de fluides dans des conduites, la distribution d'électricité dans un réseau électrique, ou toutes autres données transitant à travers un réseau de nœuds. Définition Soit G = (V,E) un graphe orienté fini dans lequel chaque arête est associée à une valeur réelle positive

Graph orientations with edge-connection and parity constraints

Parity (matching theory) and connectivity (network flows) are two main branches of combinatorial optimization. In an attempt to understand better their interrelation, we study a problem where both parity and connectivity requirements are imposed. The main result is a characterization of undirected graphs G = (V,E) having a k-edge-connected T-odd orientation for every subset with |E| + |T| even. (T-odd orientation: the in-degree of v is odd precisely if v is in T.) As a corollary, we obtain that every (2k)-edge- connected graph with |V| + |E| even has a (k-1)-edge- connected orientation in which the in-degree of every node is odd. Along the way, a structural characterization will be given for digraphs with a root-node s having k edge- disjoint paths from s to every node and k-1 edge-disjoint paths from every node to s.

The traditional node percolation map of directed networks is reanalyzed in terms of edges. In the percolated phase, edges can mainly organize into five distinct giant connected components, interfaces bridging the communication of nodes in the strongly connected component and those in the in and out components. Formal equations for the relative sizes in the number of edges of these giant structures are derived for arbitrary joint degree distributions in the presence of local and two-point correlations. The uncorrelated null model is fully solved analytically and compared against simulations, finding an excellent agreement. Interfaces, and their particular conformations giving place from "hairy ball" percolation landscapes to bottleneck straits, could bring new light to the discussion of how a structure is interwoven with functionality in flow networks.

Structural Efficiency of Percolated Landscapes in Flow Networks

Paolo De Los Rios

The large-scale structure of complex systems is intimately related to their functionality and evolution. In particular, global transport processes in flow networks rely on the presence of directed pathways from input to output nodes and edges, which organize in macroscopic connected components. However, the precise relation between such structures and functional or evolutionary aspects remains to be understood. Here, we investigate which are the constraints that the global structure of directed networks imposes on transport phenomena. We define quantitatively under minimal assumptions the structural efficiency of networks to determine how robust communication between the core and the peripheral components through interface edges could be. Furthermore, we assess that optimal topologies in terms of access to the core should look like "hairy balls'' so to minimize bottleneck effects and the sensitivity to failures. We illustrate our investigation with the analysis of three real networks with very different purposes and shaped by very different dynamics and time scales-the Internet customer provider set of relationships, the nervous system of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, and the metabolism of the bacterium Escherichia coli. Our findings prove that different global connectivity structures result in different levels of structural efficiency. In particular, biological networks seem to be close to the optimal layout.
