Figure 1 shows a capacitated, directed network. The network represents a system of pipes through which fluid can flow.
The weights on the arcs show the lower and upper capacities for the corresponding pipes, in litres per second.
- Calculate the capacity of
- cut \(C _ { 1 }\)
- cut \(C _ { 2 }\)
- Using only the capacities of cuts \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\), state what can be deduced about the maximum flow through the system.

Figure 2 shows an initial flow through the same network. - State the value of the initial flow.
- By entering values along \(B C , C F\) and \(D T\), complete the labelling procedure on Diagram 1 in the answer book.
- Use the labelling procedure to find a maximum flow through the network. You must list each flow-augmenting route you use, together with its flow.
- Use your answer to (e) to find a maximum flow pattern for this system of pipes and draw it on Diagram 2 in the answer book.
- Prove that the answer to (f) is optimal.
A vertex restriction is now applied to \(B\) so that no more than 16 litres per second can flow through it.
- Complete Diagram 3 in the answer book to show this restriction.
- State the value of the maximum flow with this restriction.
