18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics
18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics (Spring 2024, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Ankur Moitra, Prof. Peter Shor, and Susan Ruff. This course will teach you illustrative topics in discrete applied mathematics, including counting, generating functions, probability, linear optimization, algebraic structures, basic number theory, information theory, and coding theory. It is a CI-M (Communication Intensive in the Major) course and thus includes a writing component. (from ocw.mit.edu)
| Lecture 15 - Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem |
We explain the problem of maximum flow. First, we show that the maximum flow is always less than the minimum cut. We next write down the linear program for maximum flow and take the dual. It turns out that this gives the minimum cut.
