ON NETWORKS AND BI-COMPLETE GRAPHS,

Abstract

Mathematically, a communication network is a network (bi-complete linear graph) whose edge weights are restricted to be nonnegative. In the physical interpretations which generated this interest, the property which occupies the center of attention is the capacity of the network for supporting a flow from one terminal to another. It is this preoccupation with ''generalized plumbing'' that distinguishes the theory of communication networksother mathematical systems dealing with weighted graphs. (Author)
