Abstract

Simple, yet powerful non-simplex algorithms are developed for max flow and min-cost flow problems in networks with positive gains. It is shown that these algorithms are computationally better than existing non-simplex algorithms. A strong relationship between the min-cost flow problem in pure networks and the max flow problem in networks with positive gains is used to demonstrate how algorithms for one problem can be transformed into ones for the other problem.
