    Notes: Abstract Polyhedra related to matroids and sub- or supermodular functions play a central role in combinatorial optimization. The purpose of this paper is to present a unified treatment of the subject. The structure of generalized polymatroids and submodular flow systems is discussed in detail along with their close interrelation. In addition to providing several applications, we summarize many known results within this general framework.

    Notes: Abstract Seymour (1981) proved that the cut criterion is necessary and sufficient for the solvability of the edge-disjoint paths problem when the union of the supply graph and the demand graph is planar and Eulerian. When only planarity is required, Middendorf and Pfeiffer (1993) proved the problem to be NP-complete. For this case, Korach and Penn (1992) proved that the cut criterion is sufficient for the existence of a near-complete packing of paths. Here we generalize this result by showing how a natural strengthening of the cut criterion yields better packings of paths. Analogously to Seymour's approach, we actually prove a theorem on packing cuts in an arbitrary graph and then the planar edge-disjoint paths case is obtained by planar dualization. The main result is derived from a theorem of Sebő (1990) on the structure of ±1 weightings of a bipartite graph with no negative circuits.

    Notes: Abstract A subsetJ of edges of a connected undirected graphG=(V, E) is called ajoin if |C∩J|≤|C|/2 for every circuitC ofG. Answering a question of P. Solé and Th. Zaslavsky, we derive a min-max formula for the maximum cardinality μ of a joint ofG. Namely, μ=(φ+|V|−1)/2 where φ denotes the minimum number of edges whose contraction leaves a factor-critical graph. To study these parameters we introduce a new decomposition ofG, interesting for its own sake, whose building blocks are factor-critical graphs and matching-covered bipartite graphs. We prove that the length of such a decomposition is always φ and show how an optimal join can be constructed as the union of perfect matchings in the building blocks. The proof relies on the Gallai-Edmonds structure theorem and gives rise to a polynomial time algorithm to construct the optima in question.

    Notes: Abstract A generalization of P. Seymour's theorem on planar integral 2-commodity flows is given when the underlying graphG together with the demand graphH (a graph having edges that connect the corresponding terminal pairs) form a planar graph and the demand edges are on two faces ofG.

    Notes: In order to unify these approaches, here we describe a two-phase greedy algorithm working on a slight extension of lattice polyhedra. This framework includes the rooted node-connectivity augmentation problem, as well, and hence the resulting algorithm, when appropriately specialized, finds a minimum cost of new edges whose addition to a digraph increases its rooted connectivity by one. The only known algorithm for this problem used submodular flows. Actually, the specialized algorithm solves an extension of the rooted edge-connectivity and node-connectivity augmentation problem.
