Advanced Network Flow Applications in Optimization

[30] Choose a number r larger than any |bi|, and say that the scaled benefit bi0 of keeping application i on the old system is bi0=r, while the scaled benefit of moving it is bi1=r+bi. So our problem is equivalent to that of finding a partition of the applications that maximizes the sum of the scaled benefits minus the sum of pij for all pairs i and j that are split. Define a directed graph G=(V,E) with nodes s,t,v1,v2,..,vn, edges (s,vi),(vi,s) of capacity bi0,(t,vi),(vi,t) of capacity bi1, and
