Network Flows

 

Southern Methodist University Course: CSE 8374 Network Flows
NTU Course: QM 721-N

Fall, 2000, Tuesdays, 6:30-9:20 p.m. (Central)  Caruth Hall 218

Network flow problems are the most prevalent optimization models found in practice today, and this course provides a blend of theory and practice used in their solution. We build and analyze network models for a variety of industries, and develop the fundamental solution algorithms for pure, generalized, and constrained problems. The models will include the shortest path problem, maximal flow problem, assignment problem, transportation problem, capacitated transshipment problem, multi-commodity network flow problem, and nonlinear network flow problems.

The class is offered on the campus of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, and is also available: • live on the Dallas-Fort- Worth-area TAGER network and National Technological University satellite broadcast, and • by videotape from NTU and the SMU School of Engineering and Applied Science.
