Figure 18.4 Example of augmented path. The generalized contact map graph is given in the
bottom. The x -arcs of the S - T path are in solid lines. The activated z -arcs are in dashed lines.
The length of the augmented path is equal to the score of the threading ( 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4 ) .

where (v) (respectively 1 (v) ) denotes the set of the x -arcs with tail (respec-
tively head) v . Constraint (18.1) (respectively (18.2)) corresponds to unit flow from S
(respectively to T ), and constraints (18.3) refer to flow conservation for each vertex.
The well-known properties of the network polytope X make it possible to replace the
integrality requirements x e ∈{
0.
The set of feasible threadings can also be expressed in the space of y -variables as
a set Y , defined by the constraints

The binary variable y ik is 1 if and only if segment i is placed on position k . Constraints
(18.5) assign each segment to exactly one position and (18.6) ensure the order of
segments (if segment i is placed after the k th position, then i
+
1 must also be placed
after the k th position).
Starting from the S - T path defining sets X or Y , an augmented path defining set Z
can be constructed by introducing the z -variables and adding appropriate connecting
