Title
Source location problem with flow requirements in directed netwokrs
Abstract
Given a directed graph G = (V, A) with a capacity function c : A --> R+, two demand functions d(-), d(+) : V --> R+, and a cost function w : V --> R+, we consider the problem of computing a minimum-cost set S subset of or equal to V such that, for each vertex v is an element of V - S, the arc-connectivity from S to v is at least d(-)(v) and the arc-connectivity from v to S is at least d(+)(v). We present a polynomial time algorithm for the problem where d(-) and d(+) are uniformly fixed and w is uniform. Furthermore, we show that the problem is NP-hard, even if either the cost function or the demand function is uniform.
