Abstract

The task of obtaining and estimating maximum flows between all pairs of nodes in a given subset of a network’s nodes is discussed. It is shown how significantly reduce number of operations by re-usage of some intermediate results while calculating maximum flows between several pairs of nodes. Obtaining all maximum flows allows calculate an arithmetical average of maximum flows between all pairs of nodes characterizes “throughput” of a network in a whole that may serve as the index of a citys road network quality, for example. Cumulative bounds are used for faster and strict estimation of maximum flows and their average.
