Short proofs on multicommodity flows and cuts
1991
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series B (Print)
However, this contradicts the fact that Iw-)I = M-w I As is well known, this corollary implies a half-integral multicommodity flow theorem of Lomonosov [7] (extending the max-flow min-cut theorem of Ford ...
As was noted by Karzanov [4] and Seymour 1143, cut packing results (like Karzanov's theorem above) can be interpreted in terms of polyhedral cones, and thus by polarity of cones are related to multicommodity ...

The analysis of the online algorithm introduces a natural "priority" multicommodity flow problem, and bounds the priority multicommodity flow-cut gapthis might also be of independent interest. ...
The analysis of the approximation ratio is then a direct consequence of the flow-cut gap for multicommodity flow. ...

A New Algorithm for Multicommodity Flow
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a new algorithm to obtain max flow for the multicommodity flow. This algorithm utilizes the max-flow min-cut theorem and the well known labeling algorithm due to Ford and Fulkerson [1]. ...
A record is made of these cuts and the paths flowing through the edges of these cuts. This record is then utilized to develop our algorithm to obtain max flow for multicommodity flow. ...
Proof: The algorithm begins with applying max flow min cut theorem individually and separately to each source/sink pair of the given multicommodity flow and produces separate record of paths, min cuts, ...

Multicommodity max-flow min-cut theorems and their use in designing approximation algorithms
1999
Journal of the ACM
In this paper, we establish max-flow min-cut theorems for several important classes of multicommodity flow problems. ...
In particular, we show that for any n-node multicommodity flow problem with uniform demands, the max-flow for the problem is within an O(log n) factor of the upper bound implied by the min-cut. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The proof of Theorem 7 was suggested by Eva Tardos. The fact that Theorem 2 could be extended in this way was also pointed out by David Shmoys and Alistair Sinclair. ...

Multicommodity Flows in Planar Graphs with Demands on Faces
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We consider the problem of multicommodity flows in planar graphs. Seymour showed that if the union of supply and demand graphs is planar, then the cut condition is sufficient for routing demands. ...
We show that if the source sink pairs on each face of the graph are such that sources and sinks appear contiguously on the cycle bounding the face, then the flow cut gap is at most 3. ...
Theorem 4 Let (G, H) be a separable face instance of multicommodity flow . Then, the flow-cut gap of (G, H) is at most 3. Proof. Follows from Lemma 2 and Theorem 3. Proof. ...

Towards Duality of Multicommodity Multiroute Cuts and Flows: Multilevel Ball-Growing

Though the proof of the duality relies on this algorithm, it is not a straightforward corollary of it as in the case of classical multicommodity flows and cuts. ...
The main result of this paper is an approximate duality theorem for multicommodity h-route cuts and flows, for h ≤ 3: The size of a minimum h-route cut is at least f /h and at most O(log 3 k ·f ) where ...

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
The scheme we suggest is based on modifying the multicommodity flow solution and thus improving the achievable rate region, w.r.t the uncoded case. ...
For both the nondistributed case and the distributed case, the computational complexity of our algorithm for network coding is comparable to that of the parallel multicommodity flow problem. ...
Improving the Multicommodity Flow Suppose we are given a rate pair (R 1 , R 2 ), which is on the boundary of the rate region of the multicommodity flow. ...
