Approximating maximum integral flows in wireless sensor networks via weighted-degree constrained k-flows
We consider the Maximum Integral Flow with Energy Constraints problem: given a directed graph G = (V, E) with edge-weights {w(e) : e E} and node battery capacities {b(v) : v V }, and two nodes r, s V , find a maximum integral rs-flow f so that for every node v its energy consumption P vuE f(vu)w(vu) is at most b(v). Let k be the maximum integral flow value. We give a polynomial time algorithm that computes a flow of value at least k/16 . As checking whether k 1 can be done in polynomial time, this gives an approximation algorithm with ratio that ap
