Gomory and Hu proved the following classical result: For any graph with nonnegative edge weights, there exists a collection of noncrossing cuts that contains a minimum cut for every pair of nodes. In this paper, we show how this result generalizes for a natural multiterminal cut problem. We also sho

Given an undirected graph G Å (V ʜ A, E), where A is a set of terminal nodes and V is a set of nonterminal nodes, a node multiterminal cut is a set of nonterminal nodes whose deletion disconnects every pair of terminal nodes. We study the node multiterminal cut polyhedron, denoted P(G, A). We give s
We show that if a flow network has k inputÂoutput terminals (for the traditional maximum-flow problem, k=2), its external flow pattern (the possible values of flow into and out of the terminals) has two characterizations of size independent of the total number of vertices: a set of 2 k +1 inequaliti
