Sinopsis

Explore how this book reframes the minimum cost flow problem with genuinely polynomial algorithms. It presents new dual simplex approaches and connects them to practical network optimization, offering a clear path from classic methods to modern bounds.

Two concise sections outline the scope and value: first, a historical view of Edmonds–Karp scaling and the search for polynomial-time pivot rules; second, a detailed development of two network dual simplex algorithms with provable performance guarantees. The discussion stays focused on structure, complexity, and implementation insights that matter for researchers and practitioners alike.


  • Two genuinely polynomial dual simplex pivot rules for minimum cost flow

  • Connections between dual pivots and shortest-path steps, including Dijkstra-based interpretations

  • Complexity bounds that compare with Edmonds–Karp scaling and other classical methods

  • Guidance on implementing these algorithms for sparse networks and practical use



Ideal for readers of advanced optimization, operations research, and algorithm design who want a rigorous but accessible treatment of network flow methods.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Genuinely Polynominal Simplex and Non-Simplex Algorithms for the Minimum Cost Flow Problem

This first question is motivated in part by the existance of genuinely polynomial algorithms for several important subclasses of network flow problems, viz., the assignment problem, the shortest path problem, and the maximum flow problem.
