Key components of the network are:
- Nodes: Represent sources (supply points) and destinations (demand points).
- Edges: Represent transportation routes between nodes, with associated costs or capacities.
In the network model, the key components are:
- Nodes: Points or locations in the network, such as sources, sinks, or intermediate points.
- Edges: Connections between nodes that allow resources to flow, often with associated costs and capacities.
- Flow: The movement of resources along the edges from one node to another.
- Capacity: The maximum flow that can pass through an edge or node.
- Cost: The expense or effort of moving resources along an edge, like distance or time.
- Demand and Supply: The required and provided quantities of resources at each node.
These components are used to model the efficient flow of resources through the network, with optimization goals like minimizing costs or maximizing throughput.
