Course Overview

  • Among the several types of optimization problems, network flow problems are related to identifying the best way to carry out an operation in a network. For our understanding in this course, a network is made up of nodes connected by routes joining the pair of nodes.
  • Learn the details behind a network flow problem and how it is represented using directed and undirected graph.
  • Learn how to apply optimization techniques to solve the shortest path problem and minimum spanning tree problem.
  • Gain practical experience by applying the understanding in several real-world business case scenarios.
