Let G be a graph and let A be its cutset-edge incidence matrix. We prove that the linear system 12Ax=1,x=0 is box totally dual integral (box-TDI) if and only ifG is a series-parallel graph; a by-product of this characterization is a structural description of a box-TDI system on matroids. Our results strengthen two previous theorems obtained respectively by Cornuejols, Fonlupt, and Naddef and by Mahjoub which assert that both polyhedra {x|12Ax=1,x=0} and {x|12Ax=1,1=x=0} are integral if G is series-parallel. |
