Quadratic programming problems can be solved with “
Let’s figure out how to do it with an example of “Applying Nonlinear Programming to Portfolio Selection”:
Please note that, this example involves three variables (x1, x2, and x3). If you want an example of two variables (x1 and x2), please check my another post: Another Quadratic Programming Example with R.

6.2 A CASE STUDY: THE BMZ CO. MAXIMUM FLOW PROBLEM
The function to solve maximum flow problem in igraph package is called max_flow.
Usage:
max_flow(graph, source, target, capacity = NULL)
After finished the Business Statistics course in my Pre-Master at Nyenrode, I felt myself comfortable to deal with data analysis, and I did not have big plans for the six-week winter holiday, so I was wondering maybe I could try some different things about data analytics. However, since I am not a fan of drag-and-drop tools such as Excel and SPSS, I ended up with R, which many friends have recommended before.
Meanwhile, I realized that there will be a course about Operation Research called “Introduction to Management Science: A Modeling and Cases Studies Approach with Spreadsheets“, which is about how to solve Operation Research questions with excel Modeling, so I began to looking for R packages for Operation Research.
