Abstract
[en] This project is about directed cuts, directed joins and their packings. We study the open problem of Woodall’s Conjecture, a problem studied by many authors to such an extent that it even has a $5000 dollars prize for his demonstration set by G. Cornuéjols. We will also cover the Lucchesi-Younger Theorem proof which can be seen as a dual result of the conjecture and the counterexample for the Edmonds-Giles Conjecture, the weighted version of Woodall’s Conjecture.
Besides studying the theory we have set ourselves the goal of proposing a program that given a graph, checks if all of its orientations validate the Woodall’s Conjecture. This program should be able to prove the conjecture, up to a certain number of vertices, by testing all the different combinations.
