  • Abstract
    The first approximate max-flow-min-cut theorem for general multicommodity flow is proved. It is used to obtain approximation algorithms for minimum deletion of clauses of a 2-CNF≡formula, via minimization problems, and other problems. Also presented are approximation algorithms for chordalization of a graph and for register sufficiency that are based on undirected and directed node separators
