Abstract

We consider the graph balancing problem of providing orientations to edges in an undirected multi-graph to minimize the maximum load. We first obtain an FPTAS when the multi-graph is restricted to a tree. We also obtain some additional results for other restricted cases by showing equivalencies with related combinatorial problems.
