Abstract

Techniques are provided for optimizing a graph. The graph can be generated with a source node, a plurality of item nodes, and a terminal node. Once generated, the graph can be optimized to determine a lowest cost flow from the source node to the terminal node based at least in part on respective budget measurements. A first account node and a first item node can be determined and an account corresponding to the first account node, as well as information that identifies an item corresponding to the first item node can be transmitted.
