If two paths have the same relevant slice with output being the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.

I am not sure where we use being. Can we use being after the person or object to describe?

Jim, being a lovely boy, is liked by all his friends.

The second example is a perfectly fine example of participial phrase.

Being a lovely boy, Jim is liked by all his friends.

I assume the first sentence is missing a the.

If two paths have the same relevant slice with the output being the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.

I don't understand what the sentence means, but you probably mean the following:

If two paths have the same relevant slice when the output is the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.

    I don't see a problem with "the" being omitted in the first sentence. One could consider it elided, or simply that "output" is uncountable.

Both the examples you gave sound natural to me.

Other examples:

I like being at home.

Being kind to each other is important.

Reading, being so important in learning other subjects, must be mastered early.
