Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an algorithm for finding maximal sized sets of flows in a certain class of multicommodity flow networks. The class consists of networks with integer capacity edges and with each node being a source or sink for all but at most one commodity. This new procedure lifts a restriction in a previous algorithm that required flow in edges joining source and sink of the same commodity.
