Description
Although Potent purports to use only radial velocities in retrieving the potential velocity field of galaxies, the derivation of transverse components is implicit in the smoothing procedures. Thus the possibility of using nonradial line integrals to derive the velocity field arises. In the case of inhomogeneous distributions of galaxies, the optimal path for integration need not be radial, and can be obtained by using max-flow algorithms. In this paper we present the results of using Dijkstra's algorithm to obtain this optimal path and velocity field.
