Design and Analysis of Algorithms

A directed graph with three sources, three sinks (two of which are distinct), and several other nodes.

An instance of the multi-commodity flow problem. This could be used to represent the transport of emergency relief supplies after a natural disaster. See Lecture 13 for more information. (Image courtesy of Ben Zinberg.)
