Dinitz–Garg–Goemans flow conjecture

A seven-vertex, nine-arc witness: fractional cost 58; every allowed unsplittable routing costs at least 60, with demands 15,10,15.

Scope and what remains

Preserve the exact capacity augmentation, cost and demand model. Registry observation dates need not equal discovery or formalization dates.
