Submodular Functions And Electrical Networks Annals Of Discrete Mathematics Volume 54

There is a strong case for electrical network topologists and submodular function theorists being aware of each other's fields. Presenting a topological approach to electrical network theory, this text demonstrates the strong links that exist between submodular functions and electrical networks. The book contains:a detailed discussion of graphs, matroids, vector spaces and the algebra of generalized minors; relevant to network analysis (particularly to the construction of efficient circuit simulators); and a detailed discussion of submodular function theory in its own right.
