We consider the all-pairs multicommodity network flow problem on a network with capacitated edges. The usual treatment keeps track of a separate flow for each source-destination pair on each edge; we rely on a more efficient formulation in…

An unsplittable multiflow routes the demand of each commodity along a single path from its source to its sink node. As our main result, we prove that in series-parallel digraphs, any given multiflow can be expressed as a convex combination…
