Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
Network flow problems involve finding the optimal way to transport goods or data through a network while satisfying specific constraints such as capacities and demands at various nodes. These problems can be represented using systems of linear equations, where nodes represent locations and edges represent the pathways for flow. Understanding how to model and solve these problems using linear systems and matrix methods is crucial for applications in logistics, telecommunications, and transportation.
