Given a set of source-sink pairs, the maximum multiflow problem asks for the maximum total amount of flow that can be feasibly routed between them. The minimum multicut, a dual problem to multiflow, seeks the minimum-cost set of edges whose…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with two distinguished vertices $s,t\in V$ and an integer $L$, an {\em $L$-bounded flow} is a flow between $s$ and $t$ that can be decomposed into paths of length at most $L$. In the {\em maximum $L$-bounded flow…
