چکیده

We study the polyhedra of splittable and unsplittable single arc–set relaxations of multicommodity flow capacitated network design problems. We investigate the optimization problems over these sets and the separation and lifting problems of valid inequalities for them. In particular, we give a linear–time separation algorithm for the residual capacity inequalities [19] and show that the separation problem of c–strong inequalities [7] is NP–hard, but can be solved over the subspace of fractional variables only. We introduce two classes of inequalities for the unsplittable flow problems. We present a summary of computational experiments with a branch-and-cut algorithm for multicommodity flow capacitated network design problems to test the effectiveness of the results presented here empirically.

A Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Unsplittable Capacitated Network Design

The Network Design Problem (NDP) is one of the important problems in combinatorial optimization. Among the network design problems, the Multicommodity Capacitated Network Design (MCND) problem has numerous applications in transportation, logistics, telecommunication, and production systems. The MCND problems with splittable flow variables are NP-hard, which means they require exponential time t...

Convex Combinations of Single Source Unsplittable Flows

In the single source unsplittable flow problem, commodities must be routed simultaneously from a common source vertex to certain destination vertices in a given digraph. The demand of each commodity must be routed along a single path. In a groundbreaking paper Dinitz, Garg, and Goemans [4] prove that any given (splittable) flow satisfying certain demands can be turned into an unsplittable flow ...
