A quick proof for the cactus representation of mincuts

Tamás Fleiner, András Frank



Abstract

A short and simple proof is given for an elegant theorem of E.A. Dinits, A.V. Karzanov and M.V. Lomonosov on representing all of the minimum cuts of an undirected graph by a cactus, a graph built up from edge-disjoint circuits in a tree-like manner.
