Presets
The max-flow problem asks how much can be pushed from a source to a sink through a network of capacity-limited edges. Edmonds-Karp repeatedly finds an augmenting path and saturates it until none remain. By the max-flow min-cut theorem, the answer equals the capacity of the cheapest set of edges that, if cut, disconnects source from sink — the bottleneck.

Centrality measures which nodes are most important in a network. Degree counts direct connections; betweenness counts how often a node lies on shortest paths (a bridge or broker); closeness measures how near a node is to all others. Switching metrics changes who matters — a key insight for social networks, infrastructure, and epidemiology.
