Abstract

We give an algorithm with complexity O(f(R)k2k3n)O(f(R)^{k^2} k^3 n) for the integer multiflow problem on instances (G,H,r,c)(G,H,r,c) with GG an acyclic planar digraph and r+cr+c Eulerian. Here, ff is a polynomial function, n=V(G)n = |V(G)|, k=E(H)k = |E(H)| and RR is the maximum request maxhE(H)r(h)\max_{h \in E(H)} r(h). When kk is fixed, this gives a polynomial algorithm for the arc-disjoint paths problem under the same hypothesis.
