Abstract:

This dissertation concerns the design of algorithms for finding
confluent flows in networks. A flow in a network is confluent if at any
node all the  flow leaves along a single edge. We motivate the notion of
confluence by presenting various network applications and establish a
model for its study. We formulate several interesting problems in this
model and obtain results for some of them. We discuss some key results
and present our plans for future research and completion of this
dissertation.
