Abstract

We consider the max-weight integral multicommodity flow problem in trees. In this problem we are given an edge-, arc-, or vertex-capacitated tree and weighted pairs of terminals, and the objective is to find a max-weight integral flow between terminal pairs subject to the capacities. This problem is APX-hard and a 4-approximation for the edge- and arc-capacitated versions is known. Some special cases are exactly solvable in polynomial time, including when the graph is a path or a star.
