Abstract:

We consider the problem of Simultaneous Source Location { selecting locations for sources in a capacitated graph such that a given set of demands can be satised. We give an exact algorithm for trees and show how this can be combined with a result of Racke to give a solution that exceeds edge capacities by at most O(log n log log n), where n is the number of nodes. On graphs of bounded treewidth, we show the problem is still NP-Hard, but we are able to give a PTAS with at most O(1 + ) violation of the capacities, or a (k + 1)-approximation with exact capacities, where k is the treewidth and can be made arbitrarily small. 1
