Abstract
We introduce the concept of an extreme relation for a topological flow as an analogue of the extreme measurable partition for a measure-preserving transformation considered by Rokhlin and Sinai, and we show that every topological flow has such a relation for any invariant measure. From this result, it follows, among other things, that any deterministic flow has zero topological entropy and any flow which is a $K$-system with respect to an invariant measure with full support is a topological $K$-flow.
