\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a capacitated, directed network of pipes. The number on each arc represents the capacity of the corresponding pipe. The numbers in circles represent an initial flow.
  1. List the saturated arcs.
  2. State the value of the initial flow.
  3. State the capacities of the cuts \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\)
  4. By inspection, find a flow-augmenting route to increase the flow by three units. You must state your route.
  5. Prove that the new flow is maximal.
