  • We provide a new algebraic technique to solve the sequential flow problem in polynomial space. The task is to maximise the flow through a graph where edge capacities can be changed over time by choosing a sequence of capacity labelings from a given finite set. Our method is based on a novel factorization theorem for finite semigroups that, applied to a suitable flow semigroup, allows to derive small witnesses. This generalises to multiple in/output vertices, as well as regular constraints.
