TP SHUAI * Definition 10.18 An artificial network model and starting point for computing initial feasible solutions in minimum cost network flow problems can be constructed by (1) assigning 0 flow to all arcs of the original model, (2) introducing an artificial node, (3) creating artificial arcs from each supply node k (bk0) to the artificial node with flow equal to the specified supply |bk|, and (4) adding artificial arcs from the artificial node to each demand node k (bk0) with flow equal to the required demand |bk|.
