Description
A simple set of rules, known as the balance-of-flow rules, applies to constructing the constraints for minimum cost network flow problems. These rules are summarized below:
If Total Supply >= Total Demand then apply Inflow - Outflow >= Supply or Demand
If Total Supply = Total Demand then apply Inflow - Outflow = Supply or Demand
If Total Supply <= Total Demand then apply Inflow - Outflow <= Supply or Demand
