A Field Guide to Identifying Network Flow and Matching Problems.
Abstract
In an important but apparently little-known result, M. Iri has given necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear program to be solvable as a network flow problem. For tutorial purposes we recapitulate his result, though from a different perspective. Then in the same spirit we characterize linear programs that are solvable by the matching algorithm. (Author)
