Network Simplex Animations
and 6.855J Network Simplex Animations Obtain a network, and use the same network to illustrate the shortest path problem for communication networks, the max flow problem, the minimum cost flow problem, and the multicommodity flow problem. This will be a very efficient way of introducing the four problems. (Perhaps under 10 minutes of class time.)
