Abstract:
We represent a flow of a graph G=(V,E) as a couple (C,e) with C a circuit of G and e an edge of C, and its incidence vector is the 0∕±1 vector χC∖e−χe. The flow cone of G is the cone generated by the flows of G and the unit vectors. When G has no K5-minor, this cone can be described by the system x(M)≥0 for all multicuts M of G. We prove that this system is box-totally dual integral if and only if G is series–parallel. Then, we refine this result to provide the Schrijver system describing the flow cone in series–parallel graphs. This answers a question raised by Chervet et al., (2018).
