Degree constrained submodular flows

Tamás Király, Lap Chi Lau



Abstract

We consider the problem of finding a minimum cost 0-1 submodular flow with the additional constraint that the sum of the incoming and outgoing flow at each node cannot exceed a given limit. We show that this problem is NP-hard, but it can be approximated in the following sense: we can find a submodular flow of cost not greater than the optimum which violates the additional constraints by at most 1 at every node.
