This paper presents a faster algorithm for the M-convex submodular flow problem, which is a generalization of the minimum-cost flow problem with an M-convex cost function for the flow-boundary, where an M-convex function is a nonlinear nonseparable discrete convex function on integer points. The algorithm extends the capacity scaling approach for the submodular flow problem by Fleischer, Iwata and McCormick (2002) with the aid of a novel technique of changing the potential by solving maximum submodular flow problems.
