A set B C Z y is said to be an M-convex set if its indicator function is an M-convex function, i.e., if B satisfies • B-EXC) For x, y E B and for u E s u p p + ( x y), there exists v E s u p p - ( x - y) such that x - Xu + Xv E B and y + Xu - Xv E B. This means that an M-convex set is the same as the set of integer points of the base polyhedron of an integral submodular system (see [8] for submodular systems). L-convexity and M-convexity are conjugate to each other under the integral Fenchel-Legendre transformation f ~ f ° defined by f" (p) - sup { (p, x) - f (x)" x E Z V }, p E Z V, where (p,x) - ~-~.v~vp(v)x(v). That is, for Lconvex function g and M-convex function f, it holds [15] that g" is M-convex, f" is L-convex, g"=g,

and f " = f .

convexity and M-convexity are inherent in the integer minimum-cost flow problem, as pointed out in [12], [15]. Let G - (V, A) be a graph with vertex set V and arc set A, and let T C_ V be given. For ~" A --+ Z its boundary 0~" V --+ Z is defined by O (v)

{~(a)" a C 5 + v } - E

{~(a)" a E 5-v}

(v e v ) , where 5+v and 5-v denote the sets of out-going and in-coming arcs incident to v, respectively. For ~" V -+ Z its coboundary 5~: A --+ Z is defined by

where O+a and O-a mean the initial and terminal vertices of a, respectively: Denote the class of one-dimensional discrete convex functions by C1 - {~" Z -+ Z U {+c~}[ d o m ~ # 0, ~(t-1)+~(t+l)_>2~(t)
