Q Compare and contrast the maximal-flow problem, shortest route problem, and minimal spanning tree problem. Which would be the best model to use by a forest ranger seeking to minimize the risk of forest fires and why?
The maximal-flow problems, shortest route problems, and minimal spanning tree are three types of network models that can be used to solve various problems. As the names indicate the objectives of these three methods are different. The following is a brief analysis of these three models. The maximal-flow problem focuses on the network that supports the flow of the maximum amount of objects from one point to another point. On the other hand, shortest route problem tries to find out the shortest possible distance through the entire network (Render, 2018).
