Abstract

To improve the efficiency of solving d-minimal cuts, a novel technique is developed to determine the minimal capacities of arcs. Also, two new judging criteria are proposed to detect duplicate d-minimal cuts. Both theoretical and computational results indicate that our algorithm outperforms the existing methods. Furthermore, a real case study is provided to illustrate the application of the algorithm.
