— Given a positive integer p , a graph G and a pair of two terminals s and t in G , the minimum shared-edge paths problem is to find p paths connecting s and t so as to minimize the number of edges shared among the paths. This is a generalization of the well-known edge-disjoint paths problem which asks whether there exist p pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting the terminals. The edge-disjoint paths problem is NP-complete for given many pairs of terminals even for graphs with treewidth at most two. In this paper we show that the minimum shared-edge paths problem for a given pair of two terminals can be solved in polynomial time for graphs with bounded treewidth.
