We show how to solve in polynomial time the multicut and the maximum integral multiflow problems in rings. For the latter problem we generalize an approach proposed by Sai Anand and Er-lebach for special cases of the call control problem in ring networks. Moreover, we give linear-time procedures to solve both problems in rings with uniform capacities. keywords. Combinatorial problems, maximum integral multiflow, minimum multicut, ring networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
