LAPLACE'S EQUATION AND NETWORK FLOWS
Abstract
This paper shows that partial differential equations may be a possible area of application of mathematical programming. The solution of Laplace's equation with Neumann's condition is shown to be a minimum cost network flow problem with cost proportional to the arc flow. An algorithm of solving minimum quadratic cost network flow is given.
