商品描述

Network flow theory has been used across a number of disciplines, including theoretical computer science, operations research, and discrete math, to model not only problems in the transportation of goods and information, but also a wide range of applications from image segmentation problems in computer vision to deciding when a baseball team has been eliminated from contention. This graduate text and reference presents a succinct, unified view of a wide variety of efficient combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including many results not found in other books. It covers maximum flows, minimum-cost flows, generalized flows, multicommodity flows, and global minimum cuts and also presents recent work on computing electrical flows along with recent applications of these flows to classical problems in network flow theory.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

網路流理論已被應用於多個學科,包括理論計算機科學、運籌學和離散數學,用於模擬不僅是貨物和信息運輸中的問題,還包括從計算機視覺中的圖像分割問題到判定棒球隊何時被淘汰的廣泛應用。這本研究生教材和參考書提供了一個簡明、統一的觀點,介紹了各種高效的組合算法,用於解決網路流問題,其中包括許多其他書籍中找不到的結果。它涵蓋了最大流、最小成本流、廣義流、多商品流和全局最小割,並介紹了最近關於計算電流流動的研究成果,以及這些流動在網路流理論中的經典問題的最新應用。
