This document discusses algorithms for solving maximum flow problems on graphs. It describes the push-relabel algorithm, which is one of the most efficient maximum flow algorithms. It was developed by Goldberg and Tarjan. The document also covers preflow basics, residual graphs, and the Edmonds-Karp algorithm. Edmonds-Karp finds the shortest augmenting path using breadth-first search and has a time complexity of O(V*E^2).
J07.00011 : Superconducting Parametric Cavities as an “Optical” Quantum Compu...Jimmy Shih-Chun Hung
Quantum information may be encoded into systems of discrete variables (DV) or continuous variables (CV). CV quantum computation has typically been studied at optical frequencies using linear quantum optics to realize Gaussian operations. To achieve universal computation, however, non-Gaussian resources such as the photon number measurements or the cubic phase state are necessary. In superconducting circuits, DV quantum computation is dominant. Here, we propose and study the superconducting parametric cavity for optical quantum computation using microwave photons. At optical frequencies, the qumodes are often separated spatial modes. Here we use the orthogonal frequency modes of the cavity. Gaussian operations between the modes are achieved via standard parametric interactions. In addition, the recent realization of three-photon spontaneous parametric downconversion in this system provides access to both a non-Gaussian gate and resource state, which provides a path to universality. We will present preliminary results towards the development of the parametric cavity for optical quantum computation starting with demonstrations of simple algorithms. One such algorithm is a quantum machine learning algorithm called Quantum Kitchen Sinks.

Towards the identification of the primary particle nature by the radiodetecti...Ahmed Ammar Rebai PhD
Radio signal from extensive air showers EAS studied by the CODALEMA experiment have been detected by means of the classic short fat antennas array working in a slave trigger mode by a particle scintillator array. It is shown that the radio shower wavefront is curved with respect to the plane wavefront hypothesis. Then a new tting model (parabolic model) is proposed to fit the radio signal time delay distributions in an event-by-event basis. This model take
into account this wavefront property and several shower geometry parameters such as: the existence of an apparent localised radio-emission source located at a distance Rc from the antenna array of and the radio shower core on the
ground. Comparison of the outputs from this model and other reconstruction models used in the same experiment show:
1)- That the radio shower core is shifted from the particle shower core in a statistic analysis approach.
2)- The capability of the radiodetection method to reconstruct the curvature radius with a statistical error less than 50 g.cm−2 .
Finally a preliminary study of the primary particle nature has been performed based on a comparison between data and Xmax distribution from Aires Monte-Carlo simulations for the same set of events.

PuffR is all about helping you conduct dispersion modelling using the CALPUFF modelling system. It is a software package currently being developed using the R statistical programming language. Dispersion modelling is a great tool for understanding how pollutants disperse from sources to receptors, and, how these dispersed pollutants affect populations’ exposure. The presentation goes over basic concepts in air dispersion modelling using CALPUFF, the goals of the project are outlined, the PuffR workflow is described, and a project roadmap is provided.

In optimization theory, maximum flow problems involve finding a feasible flow through a single-source, single-sink flow network that is maximum. In a flow network, flow going into a vertex must equal flow going out of a vertex (with the exception of the source node and the sink node, s and t respectively). Thus we cannot accumulate flow anywhere in the network. he Preflow algorithm relaxes this constraint while it determines the maximum flow of the network, allowing a vertex to have more flow coming into it than going out. This is called the excess flow of a vertex, or preflow. Any vertex with excess flow is known as an active vertex.
The push-relabel algorithm finds maximum flow on a flow network. There are three conditions for a flow network:
Capacity constraints: . The flow along an edge cannot exceed its capacity. Skew symmetry: . The net flow from to must be the opposite of the net flow from to (see example). Flow conservation: , unless or . The net flow to a node is zero, except for the source, which "produces" flow, and the sink, which "consumes" flow.
he push-relabel algorithm finds maximum flow on a flow network. There are three conditions for a flow network:
Capacity constraints: . The flow along an edge cannot exceed its capacity. Skew symmetry: . The net flow from to must be the opposite of the net flow from to (see example). Flow conservation: , unless or . The net flow to a node is zero, except for the source, which "produces" flow, and the sink, which "consumes" flow. The preflow algorithm observes the first two of the conditions of flow networks, plus a relaxed third condition for the duration of the algorithm (the algorithm finishes once all the excess is gone from the graph, at which point we have a legal flow, and the Flow conservation constraint is again observed):
Non-negativity constraint: for all nodes . More flow enters a node than exits. Given a flow network with capacity from node u to node v given as , and the flow across u and v given as , source s and sink t, we want to find the maximum amount of flow you can send from s to t through the network. Some key concepts used in the algorithm are:
residual edge: If available capacity we have a residual edge . residual edge (Alternate): . We can push flow back along an edge. residual graph: The set of all residual edges forms the residual graph. legal labelling: For each residual edge . We only push from u to v if . excess(u): Sum of flow to and from u. height(u): Each vertex is assigned a height value. For values , the height serves as an estimate of the distance to the sink node t. For values , the height is an estimate of the distance back to the sink s.
Push
A push from u to v means sending as much excess flow from u to v as we can. Three conditions must be met for a push to take place:
is active Or . There is more flow entering than exiting the vertex. There is a residual edge from u to v, where u is higher than v. If all these conditions are met we can execute a Push:
Function Push(u,v) flow = min(excess(u), c(u,v)-f(u,v)); excess(u) -= flow; // subtract the amount of flow moved from the current vertex excess(v) += flow; // add the flow to the vertex we are pushing to f(u,v) += flow; // add the amount of flow moved to the flow across the edge (u,v) f(v,u) -= flow; // subtract the flow from the edge in the other direction. Relabel
When we relabel a node u we increase its height until it is 1 higher than its lowest neighbour in the residual graph. Conditions for a relabel:
is active where So we have excess flow to push, but we not higher than any of our neighbours that have available capacity across their edge. Then we can execute Relabel:
Function Relabel(u) height(u) = min(height(v) where r(u,v) > 0) + 1;
