Repairable flow networks are a new area of research, which
analyzes the repair and flow disruption caused by failures of
components in static flow networks. This book addresses a gap in
current network research by developing the theory, algorithms and
applications related to repairable flow networks and networks with
disturbed flows. The theoretical results presented in the book lay
the foundations of a new generation of ultra-fast algorithms for
optimizing the flow in networks after failures or congestion, and
the high computational speed creates the powerful possibility of
optimal control of very large and complex networks in real time.
Furthermore, the possibility for re-optimizing the network flows in
real time increases significantly the yield from real production
networks and reduces to a minimum the flow disruption caused by
failures. The potential application of repairable flow networks
reaches across many large and complex systems, including active
power networks, telecommunication networks, oil and gas production
networks, transportation networks, water supply networks, emergency
evacuation networks, and supply networks.
The book reveals a fundamental flaw in classical algorithms for
maximising the throughput flow in networks, published since the
creation of the theory of flow networks in 1956. Despite the years
of intensive research, the classical algorithms for maximising the
throughput flow leave highly undesirable directed loops of flow in
the optimised networks. These flow loops are associated with
wastage of energy and resources and increased levels of congestion
in the optimised networks.
