Experimental analysis of the simplex method for the multicommodity flow problem
Kubek, Dávid ; Koutecký, Martin (advisor) ; Borgwardt, Steffen (referee)
This thesis investigates the multicommodity min-cost flow (MMCF) prob- lem. We aim to contribute to the search for a combinatorial algorithm for MMCF. The simplex method is employed to examine the vertices of the poly- hedron of feasible solutions using experimental analysis on a set of publicly available MMCF instances. To achieve this, we develop a solver capable of tracing solutions in each iteration of the algorithm in exact arithmetic, which was not available in existing solvers. Our investigation focuses on the frac- tionality of MMCF problems and the impact of different pivoting rules, par- ticularly whether the fractionality is exponential or polynomial with respect to increasing dimension. Our findings suggest that fractionality exhibits ex- ponential behavior.
