In this paper, we present two approaches for solving an NP-hard problem: minimum
maximal flow problem, ie, min {ξ∣∣ ξ is a maximal flow}. We introduce lower bounds on
flow, and cast the problem into a minimization of a concave function over a convex set. We
solve the problem by a global optimization method. As an application, we consider the
minimum maximal matching problem. Some numerical experiments are also reported.
