Abstract. We introduce and study the following model for routing uncertain demands through a network. We are given a capacitated multicommodity flow network with a single source an...
It is shown that the minimum cut ratio is within a factor of O(log k) of the maximum concurrent flow for k-commodity flow instances with arbitrary capacities and demands. This im...
