Abstract
We study the problem of routing on disjoint paths in bounded treewidth graphs with both edge and node capacities. The input consists of a capacitated graph $G$ and a collection of $k$ source-destination pairs $\mathcal{M} = {(s1, t1), \dots, (sk, tk)}$. The goal is to maximize the number of pairs that can be routed subject to the capacities in the graph. A routing of a subset $\mathcal{M}'$ of the pairs is a collection $\mathcal{P}$ of paths such that, for each pair $(si, ti) \in \mathcal{M}'$, there is a path in $\mathcal{P}$ connecting $si$ to $ti$. In the Maximum Edge Disjoint Paths (MaxEDP) problem, the graph $G$ has capacities $\mathrm{cap}(e)$ on the edges and a routing $\mathcal{P}$ is feasible if each edge $e$ is in at most $\mathrm{cap}(e)$ of the paths of $\mathcal{P}$. The Maximum Node Disjoint Paths (MaxNDP) problem is the node-capacitated counterpart of MaxEDP. In this paper we obtain an $O(r3)$ approximation for MaxEDP on graphs of treewidth at most $r$ and a matching approximation for MaxNDP on graphs of pathwidth at most $r$. Our results build on and significantly improve the work by Chekuri et al. [ICALP 2013] who obtained an $O(r \cdot 3r)$ approximation for MaxEDP.
