Network Flows

Meer over het boek

Network flows is an exciting field that brings together what many students, practitioners, and researchers like best about the mathematical and computational sciences. It couples deep intellectual content with a remarkable range of applicability, covering literally thousands of applications in such wide-ranging fields as chemistry and physics, computer networking, most branches of engineering, manufacturing, public policy and social systems, scheduling and routing, telecommunications, and transportation. It is classical, dating from the work of Gustav Kirchhoff and other eminent physical scientists of the last century, and yet vibrant and current, bursting with new results and new approaches. Its heritage is rooted in the traditional fields of mechanics, engineering, and applied mathematics as well as the contemporary fields of computer science and operations research.
