Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a directed network with vertices and edges having different capacities, outline a method using the Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm to determine the maximum flow. Provide an example.
💡 Hint: Think carefully about how augmenting paths interact with initial flows.
Consider a hypothetical scenario where you need to optimize the flow of products from multiple sources to various sinks. Explain how the principles of maximum flow apply and strategies you might employ.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the implications of source-sink connections.
