A Near-linear Time Constant Factor Algorithm for Unsplittable Flow Problem on Line with Bag Constraints
Consider a scenario where we need to schedule a set of jobs on a system offering some resource (such as electrical power or communication bandwidth), which we shall refer to as bandwidth. Each job consists of a set (or bag) of job instances. For each job instance, the input specifies the start time, finish time, bandwidth requirement and profit. The bandwidth offered by the system varies at dif...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Edge-Disjoint Paths and Unsplittable Flow
In the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem (MEDP) the input consists of a graph and a set of requests (pairs of vertices), and the goal is to connect as many requests as possible along edge-disjoint paths. We give a survey of known results about the complexity and approximability of MEDP and sketch some of the main ideas that have been used to obtain approximation algorithms for the problem. We...
متن کاملA Mazing 2+∊ Approximation for Unsplittable Flow on a Path
We study the unsplittable flow on a path problem (UFP), which arises naturally in many applications such as bandwidth allocation, job scheduling, and caching. Here we are given a path with nonnegative edge capacities and a set of tasks, which are characterized by a subpath, a demand, and a profit. The goal is to find the most profitable subset of tasks whose total demand does not violate the ed...
متن کاملA logarithmic approximation for the unsplittable flow on line graphs
We consider the unsplittable flow problem on a line. In this problem, we are given a set of n tasks, each specified by a start time si, an end time ti, a demand di > 0, and a profit pi > 0. A task, if accepted, requires di units of “bandwidth” from time si to ti and accrues a profit of pi. For every time t, we are also specified the available bandwidth ct, and the goal is to find a subset of ta...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for the Unsplittable Flow Problem on Paths and Trees
We study the Unsplittable Flow Problem (UFP) and related variants, namely UFP with Bag Constraints and UFP with Rounds, on paths and trees. We provide improved constant factor approximation algorithms for all these problems under the no bottleneck assumption (NBA), which says that the maximum demand for any source-sink pair is at most the minimum capacity of any edge. We obtain these improved r...
