Question 1

What does a residual graph in network flow represent?

  • Available edges for flow
  • Time complexity of the flow calculation
  • Remaining capacities and reverse paths

💡 Hint: Think about capacity adjustments.

Question 2

True or False: The flow into an intermediate node can be greater than the flow out.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a directed graph with nodes A, B, C, and D. The following edges exist: A to B (capacity 5), A to C (capacity 10), B to C (capacity 15), and C to D (capacity 10). Define the residual graph after a flow of 8 from A to D. Calculate remaining capacities for each edge.

💡 Hint: Make sure to visualize the flow and adjustments.

Question 2

Using a real-world scenario of a delivery service with specified routes and capacities, design a model that applies the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to identify the best path with maximum flow from supply to delivery point. Demonstrate how you would adjust the residual graph after each iteration.

💡 Hint: Focus on creating a visual representation of how capacities change.
