A fixed-parameter tractability result for multicommodity demand flow in trees
We study an NP-hard (and MaxSNP-hard) problem in trees--Multicommodity Demand Flow--dealing with demand flows between pairs of nodes and trying to maximize the value of the routed...

Rainbow Network Flow of Multiple Description Codes
This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...

Optimization via communication networks
— It has been known since the early 1990s that backpressure-type algorithms for communication networks (such as the Max-Weight algorithm) can be used to approximately solve stati...

Beyond the Flow Decomposition Barrier
We introduce a new approach to the maximum flow problem. This approach is based on assigning arc lengths based on the residual flow value and the residual arc capacities. Our appro...

(Almost) Tight bounds and existence theorems for single-commodity confluent flows
A flow of a commodity is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow of the commodity leaves along a single edge. In this paper we study single-commodity confluent flow pro...
