Abstract

We prove that there exist four operations such that given any two strongly 22-connected digraphs HH and DD where HH is a butterfly-minor of DD, there exists a sequence D0,,DnD_0,\dots, D_n where D0=HD_0=H, Dn=DD_n=D and for every 0in10\leq i\leq n-1, DiD_i is a strongly 22-connected butterfly-minor of Di+1D_{i+1} which is obtained by a single application of one of the four operations. As a consequence of this theorem, we obtain that every strongly 22-connected digraph can be generated from a concise family of strongly 22-connected digraphs by using these four operations.
