Determinants of weighted path matrices

Combinatorics 2012-02-15 v1

Abstract

We find rational expressions for all minors of the weighted path matrix of a directed graph, generalizing the classical Lindstrom/Gessel-Viennot result for acyclic directed graphs. The formulas are given in terms of certain flows in the graph.
