Matroid-Based Packing of Arborescences

Abstract: We provide the directed counterpart of a slight extension of Katoh and Tanigawa's result on rooted-tree decompositions with matroid constraints. Our result characterises digraphs having a packing of arborescences with matroid constraints. It is a proper extension of Edmonds' result on packing of spanning arborescences and implies - using a general orientation result of Frank - the above result of Katoh and Tanigawa. We also give a complete description of the convex hull of the incidence vectors of the basic packings of arborescences and prove that the mimimum cost version of the problem can be solved in polynomial time.
