Approximation Algorithms and Hardness of the k-Route Cut Problem

J Chuzhoy, Y Makarychev, A Vijayaraghavan… - ACM Transactions on …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We study the k-route cut problem: given an undirected edge-weighted graph G=(V, E), a
collection {(s 1, t 1),(s 2, t 2),…,(sr, tr)} of source-sink pairs, and an integer connectivity …

Algorithms for 2-route cut problems

C Chekuri, S Khanna - International Colloquium on Automata, Languages …, 2008 - Springer
In this paper we study approximation algorithms for multi-route cut problems in undirected
graphs. In these problems the goal is to find a minimum cost set of edges to be removed …

Region growing for multi-route cuts

S Barman, S Chawla - Proceedings of the Twenty-First Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2010 - SIAM
We study a number of multi-route cut problems: given a graph G=(V, E) and connectivity
thresholds k (u, v) on pairs of nodes, the goal is to find a minimum cost set of edges or …

Towards duality of multicommodity multiroute cuts and flows: Multilevel ball-growing

P Kolman, C Scheideler - Theory of Computing Systems, 2013 - Springer
An elementary h-route flow, for an integer h≥ 1, is a set of h edge-disjoint paths between a
source and a sink, each path carrying a unit of flow, and an h-route flow is a non-negative …

Improved Region-Growing and Combinatorial Algorithms for k-Route Cut Problems

G Guruganesh, L Sanita, C Swamy - Proceedings of the twenty-sixth annual …, 2014 - SIAM
We study the k-route generalizations of various cut problems, the most general of which is k-
route multicut (k-MC) problem, wherein we have r source-sink pairs and the goal is to delete …

Disjoint paths and unsplittable flow

SG Kolliopoulos - Handbook of Approximation Algorithms and …, 2018 - taylorfrancis.com
Finding disjoint paths in graphs is a problem that has attracted considerable attention from at
least three perspectives: graph theory, VLSI design, and network routing/flow. The …

Approximate duality of multicommodity multiroute flows and cuts: single source case

P Kolman, C Scheideler - Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2012 - SIAM
Given an integer h, a graph G=(V, E) with arbitrary positive edge capacities and k pairs of
vertices (s 1, t 1),(s 2, t 2),…,(sk, tk), called terminals, an h-route cut is a set F⊆ E of edges …

A Method for Obtaining the Maximum (δ,η)-Balanced Flow in a Network

W Kishimoto - International Conference on Network Optimization, 2011 - Springer
In a directed flow network we assign capacities on vertices as well as on edges. We
consider a (δ, η)-balanced flow problem of single commodity case. A (δ, η)-balanced flow is …

The spatially equitable multicommodity capacitated network flow problem

P Dell'Olmo, A Sgalambro - International Conference on Network …, 2011 - Springer
In this work we propose a novel approach addressing the need for a spatially equitable
distribution of the flows when routing multiple commodities on a capacitated network. In our …
