We consider the following problem. Let G s V, E be an undirected planar graph and let s, t g V, s / t. The problem is to find a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths in G, each connecting s with t, of maximum cardinality. In other words, the problem is to find a maximum unit flow from s to t. The fast
C. Thomassen extended Tutte's theorem on cycles in planar graphs in the paper "A Theorem on Paths in Planar Graphs". This note corrects a flaw in his proof.
We prove a theorem on paths with prescribed ends in a planar graph which extends Tutte's theorem on cycles in planar graphs [9] and implies the conjecture of Plummer (51 asserting that every 4-connected planar graph is Hamiltonian-connected.
