Abstract
An algorithm to analyze the flows along the arcs in the
exploitation of a multi-terminal network to distribute
known amounts of homogeneous product (sing1e-commodity)
is described, and a discussion about how could it be also
applied to the case of heterogeneous products
(multiple-commodities) is included. Usually it is an
undetermined problem, so that the algorithm tries to
minimize the sum of flows along all arcs. The algorithm is
easy to implement, due both to its simple organization and
to the scheme proposed to store the information it uses. In
fact, a version written in QBASIC, using structured
programming techniques, was used to test its performance
in the examples included.
