Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both transportation and assignment problems can be represented as network flow problems. In transportation problems, the nodes may represent sources, destinations, and intermediate points, while in assignment problems, the nodes represent agents and tasks. The edges in both problems represent the flow of goods or services from one node to another. Therefore, both transportation and assignment problems are examples of network flow problems.
