Abstract

Linear programming problems with up to two nonzeroes per column in the constraint matrix are shown equivalent to generalized network flow problem. The transformation is applied for solving the maximum cut problem, the b-matching problem in strongly polynomial time and for approximation algorithms for certain integer versions of the problem.
