Multicommodity Flow in Polynomial Time

Abstract

The multicommodity flow problem is NP-hard already for two commodities over bipartite graphs. Nonetheless, using our recent theory of n-fold integer programming and extensions developed herein, we are able to establish the surprising polynomial time solvability of the problem in two broad situations.
