Question 1.
What does the term 'network flow' refer to?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how water moves through pipes.
Question 2.
State one condition of conservation of flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens at an intersection.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm?
- To minimize flow
- To compute maximum flow
- To calculate min cut
Show hintHide hint
Think about the algorithm's primary objective.
4Question 4.
True or False: The maximum flow can exceed the minimum cut capacity.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what a cut represents in the flow context.
Question 5.
Given a directed graph with specified capacities, use the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to calculate the maximum flow from the source to the sink and document each step of flow augmentation.
Show hintHide hint
Sketch the graph and track changes in each iteration for better visualization.
Question 6.
Create a network example demonstrating the max flow min cut theorem by calculating the maximum flow and showing the minimum cut.
Show hintHide hint
Visualize cuts in the graph to understand how they restrict flow.
