Abstract
Bidirected graphs are a generalisation of directed graphs that arises in the study of undirected graphs with perfect matchings. Menger's famous theorem - the minimum size of a set separating two vertex sets and is the same as the maximum number of disjoint paths connecting them - is generally not true in bidirected graphs. We introduce a sufficient condition for and which yields a version of Menger's Theorem in bidirected graphs that in particular implies its directed counterpart.
