Matrix entries require matching row/column labels and units.
Add equal-order matrices entry by entry; multiply compatible matrices row by column.
Arrows restrict direction and network weights require units.
An adjacency power counts walks, not automatically simple paths.
Shortest path, minimum spanning tree and maximum flow solve different optimisation problems.
A feasible flow matching a cut capacity proves a maximum.
Check constraints and assumptions before recommending a solution.
