Summary :

A vertex-capacitated network is a graph whose edges and vertices have infinite positive capacities and finite positive capacities, respectively. Such a network is a model of a communication system in which capacities of links are much larger than those of stations. This paper considers a problem of realizing a flow-saturation in an undirected vertex-capacitated network by adding the least number of edges. By defining a set of influenced vertex pairs by adding edges, we show the follwing results.(1) It suffices to add the least number of edges to unsaturated vertex pairs for realizing flow-saturation.(2) An associated graph of a flow-unsaturated network defined in this paper gives us a sufficient condition that flow-saturation is realized by adding a single edge.
