FINDING k PARTIALLY DISJOINT PATHS IN A DIRECTED PLANAR GRAPH
The partially disjoint paths problem is: given: a directed graph, vertices r1, s1, . . . , rk, sk, and a set F of pairs {i, j} from {1, . . . , k}, find: for each i = 1, . . . , k a directed ri − si path Pi such that if {i, j} ∈ F then Pi and Pj are disjoint. We show that for fixed k, this problem is solvable in polynomial time if the directed graph is planar. More generally, the problem is sol...
متن کاملOn Fixed-Parameter Tractability of Some Routing Problems
Disjoint Paths is the problem of finding paths between given pairs of terminals in a graph such that no vertices are shared between paths. We analyze fixed-parameter tractability of several new Disjoint Paths-like routing problems motivated by congestion control in computer networks. In one model we are interested in finding paths between k pairs of terminals such that the first edge of each pa...
متن کاملOn disjoint paths in acyclic planar graphs
We give an algorithm with complexity O(f(R) 2 kn) for the integer multiflow problem on instances (G,H, r, c) with G an acyclic planar digraph and r + c Eulerian. Here, f is a polynomial function, n = |V (G)|, k = |E(H)| and R is the maximum request maxh∈E(H) r(h). When k is fixed, this gives a polynomial algorithm for the arc-disjoint paths problem under the same hypothesis.
متن کاملThe Directed Disjoint Shortest Paths Problem
In the k disjoint shortest paths problem (k-DSPP), we are given a graph and its vertex pairs (s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk), and the objective is to find k pairwise disjoint paths P1, . . . , Pk such that each path Pi is a shortest path from si to ti, if they exist. If the length of each edge is equal to zero, then this problem amounts to the disjoint paths problem, which is one of the well-studied...
متن کاملThe hardness of routing two pairs on one face
We prove the NP-completeness of the integer multiflow problem in planar graphs, with the following restrictions: there are only two demand edges, both lying on the infinite face of the routing graph. This was one of the open challenges concerning disjoint paths, explicitly asked by Müller [5]. It also strengthens Schwärzler’s recent proof of one of the open problems of Schrijver’s book [9], abo...
