We review two papers that are of historical interest for combinatorial optimization: an article of A.N. Tolsto&ıbreve; from
1930, in which the transportation problem is studied, and a negative cycle criterion is developed and applied to solve a (for
that time) large-scale (10×68) transportation problem to optimality; and an, until recently secret, RAND report of T.E. Harris
and F.S. Ross from 1955, that Ford and Fulkerson mention as motivation to study the maximum flow problem. The papers have
in common that they both apply their methods to the Soviet railway network.

A Riemannian manifold (X,g) determines an integrable complex structure on a tubular neighborhood, , of the zero section in and a CR-structure on the boundary, . There are two natural families of curves on : the orbits of the geodesic flow and a CR-invariant family called chains. It is natural to ask whether they are related.
We show that if orbits of the geodesic flow are chains on for all sufficiently small, then (X,g) is Einstein. As a partial converse we show that if (X,g) is harmonic, then orbits of the geodesic flow are chains. To prove this we study the Fefferman metric associated with .

In the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem, commodities must be routed simultaneously from a common source vertex
to certain destination vertices in a given graph with edge capacities and costs; the demand of each commodity must be routed
along a single path so that the total flow through any edge is at most its capacity. Moreover, the total cost must not exceed
a given budget. This problem has been introduced by Kleinberg [7] and generalizes several NP-complete problems from various
areas in combinatorial optimization such as packing, partitioning, scheduling, load balancing, and virtual-circuit routing.
Kolliopoulos and Stein [9] and Dinitz, Garg, and Goemans [4] developed algorithms improving the first approximation results
of Kleinberg for the problem of minimizing the violation of edge capacities and for other variants. However, known techniques
do not seem to be capable of providing solutions without also violating the cost constraint. We give the first approximation
results with hard cost constraints. Moreover, all our results dominate the best known bicriteria approximations. Finally,
we provide results on the hardness of approximation for several variants of the problem.

Consider the nonstationary Stokes equations in exterior domains with the compact boundary . We show first that the solution decays like for all as . This decay rate is optimal in the sense that for some as occurs if and only if the net force exerted by the fluid on is zero.

In this paper we study the finite time singularities for the solution of the heat flow for harmonic maps. We derive a gradient estimate for the solution across a finite time singularity. In particular, we find that the solution is asymptotically radial around the isolated singular point in space at a finite singular time. It would be more desirable to understand whether the solution is continuous in space at a finite singular time.Received: 15 March 2001, Accepted: 16 June 2002, Published online: 17 December 2002 相似文献

In this paper, we prove that if M is a K?hler-Einstein surface with positive scalar curvature, if the initial metric has nonnegative sectional curvature, and
the curvature is positive somewhere, then the K?hler-Ricci flow converges to a K?hler-Einstein metric with constant bisectional
curvature. In a subsequent paper [7], we prove the same result for general K?hler-Einstein manifolds in all dimension. This
gives an affirmative answer to a long standing problem in K?hler Ricci flow: On a compact K?hler-Einstein manifold, does the
K?hler-Ricci flow converge to a K?hler-Einstein metric if the initial metric has a positive bisectional curvature? Our main
method is to find a set of new functionals which are essentially decreasing under the K?hler Ricci flow while they have uniform
lower bounds. This property gives the crucial estimate we need to tackle this problem.

Fast and simple approximation schemes for generalized flow 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We present fast and simple fully polynomial-time approximation schemes (FPTAS) for generalized versions of maximum flow, multicommodity
flow, minimum cost maximum flow, and minimum cost multicommodity flow. We extend and refine fractional packing frameworks
introduced in FPTAS’s for traditional multicommodity flow and packing linear programs. Our FPTAS’s dominate the previous best
known complexity bounds for all of these problems, some by more than a factor of n
2, where n is the number of nodes. This is accomplished in part by introducing an efficient method of solving a sequence of
generalized shortest path problems. Our generalized multicommodity FPTAS’s are now as fast as the best non-generalized ones.
We believe our improvements make it practical to solve generalized multicommodity flow problems via combinatorial methods.

Consider two disjoint circles moving by mean curvature plus a forcing term which makes them touch with zero velocity. It
is known that the generalized solution in the viscosity sense ceases to be a curve after the touching (the so-called fattening
phenomenon). We show that after adding a small stochastic forcing , in the limit the measure selects two evolving curves, the upper and lower barrier in the sense of De Giorgi. Further we show partial results for nonzero .

Summary. We derive a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for a stabilized finite element discretization of certain incompressible Oseen-like equations. We focus our
attention on the behaviour of the effectivity index and we carry on a numerical study of its sensitiveness to the problem
and mesh parameters. We also consider a scalar reaction-convection-diffusion problem and a divergence-free projection problem
in order to investigate the effects on the robustness of our a posteriori error estimator of the reaction-convection-diffusion phenomena and, separately, of the incompressibility constraint.

A miscible displacement of one compressible fluid by another in a porous medium is governed by a nonlinear parabolic system. A new mixed finite element method, in which the mixed element system is symmetric positive definite and the flux equation is separated from pressure equation, is introduced to solve the pressure equation of parabolic type, and a standard Galerkin method is used to treat the convection‐diffusion equation of concentration of one of the fluids. The convergence of the approximate solution with an optimal accuracy in L2‐norm is proved. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 17: 229–249, 2001 相似文献

A design of varying step size approach both in time span and spatial coordinate systems to achieve fast convergence is demonstrated in this study. This method is based on the concept of minimization of residuals by the Bi‐CGSTAB algorithm, so that the convergence can be enforced by varying the time‐step size. The numerical results show that the time‐step size determined by the proposed method improves the convergence rate for turbulent computations using advanced turbulence models in low Reynolds‐number form, and the degree of improvement increases with the degree of the complexity of the turbulence models. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Long-time existence and convergence of graphic mean curvature flow in arbitrary codimension 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Let f:Σ1↦Σ2 be a map between compact Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. This article considers the evolution of the graph of
f in Σ1×Σ2 by the mean curvature flow. Under suitable conditions on the curvature of Σ1 and Σ2 and the differential of the initial map, we show that the flow exists smoothly for all time. At each instant t, the flow remains the graph of a map f
t
and f
t
converges to a constant map as t approaches infinity. This also provides a regularity estimate for Lipschitz initial data.

We describe an O(n
4
hmin{logU,n
2logn}) capacity scaling algorithm for the minimum cost submodular flow problem. Our algorithm modifies and extends the Edmonds–Karp
capacity scaling algorithm for minimum cost flow to solve the minimum cost submodular flow problem. The modification entails
scaling a relaxation parameter δ. Capacities are relaxed by attaching a complete directed graph with uniform arc capacity
δ in each scaling phase. We then modify a feasible submodular flow by relaxing the submodular constraints, so that complementary
slackness is satisfied. This creates discrepancies between the boundary of the flow and the base polyhedron of a relaxed submodular
function. To reduce these discrepancies, we use a variant of the successive shortest path algorithm that augments flow along
minimum cost paths of residual capacity at least δ. The shortest augmenting path subroutine we use is a variant of Dijkstra’s
algorithm modified to handle exchange capacity arcs efficiently. The result is a weakly polynomial time algorithm whose running
time is better than any existing submodular flow algorithm when U is small and C is big. We also show how to use maximum mean cuts to make the algorithm strongly polynomial. The resulting algorithm is the
first capacity scaling algorithm to match the current best strongly polynomial bound for submodular flow.

We present combinatorial interior point methods for the generalized minimum cost flow and the generalized circulation problems
based on Wallacher and Zimmermann's combinatorial interior point method for the minimum cost network flow problem. The algorithms
have features of both a combinatorial algorithm and an interior point method. They work towards optimality by iteratively
reducing the value of a potential function while maintaining interior point solutions. At each iteration, flow is augmented
along a generalized circulation, which is computed by solving a TVPI (Two Variables Per Inequality) system. The algorithms
run in time, where m and n are, respectively, the number of arcs and nodes in the graph, and L is the length of the input data.

This article establishes a relationship between the real (circular) flow number of a graph and its cycle rank. We show that a connected graph with real flow number p/q + 1, where p and q are two relatively prime numbers must have cycle rank at least p + q ? 1. A special case of this result yields that the real flow number of a 2‐connected cubic graph with chromatic index 4 and order at most 8k + 4 is bounded from below by 4 + 1/k. Using this bound we prove that the real flow number of the Isaacs snark I2k + 1 equals 4 + 1/k, completing the upper bound due to Steffen [Steffen, J Graph Theory 36 (2001), 24–34]. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
