两商品可分流问题的多项式时间近似算法

A Polynomial Time Approximation Algorithm for the Two-Commodity Splittable Flow Problem

Elke Eisenschmidt, Utz-Uwe Haus

摘要:

我们考虑一个推广的不可分割的最大两个商品流问题的无向图中,每个商品$i\in{1,2}$可以分为一个有界的数量$k_i$的大小相等的块,可以在不同的路径上路由。我们表明,在对比单一商品的情况下,这个问题是NP-困难的,很难近似到$α>1/2$的一个因素。我们提出了一个多项式时间的1/2近似算法的情况下,均匀的块大小在两种商品,并表明,即使$k_i$和温和的切割条件,它可以被修改,以产生一个确切的方法。统一的情况下,可以用来推导出1/4近似的最大并发$(k_1,k_2)$ -可拆分流没有块大小的限制,固定的需求率。

英文摘要:

We consider a generalization of the unsplittable maximum two-commodity flow problem on undirected graphs where each commodity $i\in{1,2}$ can be split into a bounded number $k_i$ of equally-sized chunks that can be routed on different paths. We show that in contrast to the single-commodity case this problem is NP-hard, and hard to approximate to within a factor of $α>1/2$. We present a polynomial time 1/2-approximation algorithm for the case of uniform chunk size over both commodities and show that for even $k_i$ and a mild cut condition it can be modified to yield an exact method. The uniform case can be used to derive a 1/4-approximation for the maximum concurrent $(k_1,k_2)$-splittable flow without chunk size restrictions for fixed demand ratios.
