Goal(s)
In the first year operations research course we studied some optimization algorithms on graphs, namely the shortest path problem in some particular cases and the minimum spanning tree problem. In this course we will go ahead and see more such algorithms: maximum flow problem, min cost flow problems, maximum cardinality or weight matching problem, and shortest path problems in the general case. We will also see many nice min-max or max-min theorems. This course put an emphasis in modelling and in algorithmics.
