Electrical, communication, transportation, computer, and neural networks are special kinds of nets. Designing these networks demands sophisticated mathematical models for their analysis. This book is the first to present a unified, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of net theory. It brings together elements of abstract graph theory and circuit analysis to network problems.
List of contents
Graphs and Networks; The Shortest Directed Path Problem; Maximum Flows in Networks; Minimum Trees and Communication Nets; Feasibility Theorems and Their Applications; Applications of Flow Theorems to Subgraph Problems; Signal-Flow Graphs; Other Net Applications.
