(Almost) tight bounds and existence theorems for confluent flows
A flow is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow leaves along a single edge. Given a directed graph G with k sinks and non-negative demands on all the nodes of G, we con...

Approximately counting integral flows and cell-bounded contingency tables
We consider the problem of approximately counting integral flows in a network. We show that there is an fpras based on volume estimation if all capacities are sufficiently large, ...

Approximation Algorithms for Disjoint Paths and Related Routing and Packing Problems
Given a network and a set of connection requests on it, we consider the maximum edge-disjoint paths and related generalizations and routing problems that arise in assigning paths f...

Optimization via communication networks
— It has been known since the early 1990s that backpressure-type algorithms for communication networks (such as the Max-Weight algorithm) can be used to approximately solve stati...
