A simple algorithm for the multiway cut problem

N Buchbinder, R Schwartz, B Weizman - Operations Research Letters, 2019 - Elsevier
Multiway Cut is a classic graph partitioning problem in which the goal is to disconnect a
given set of special vertices called terminals. This problem admits a rich sequence of works …

A tight-approximation for linear 3-cut

K Bérczi, K Chandrasekaran, T Király, V Madan - Proceedings of the Twenty …, 2018 - SIAM
We investigate the approximability of the linear 3-cut problem in directed graphs, which is
the simplest unsolved case of the linear k-cut problem. The input here is a directed graph …

Cuts and connectivity in graphs and hypergraphs

C Xu - 2018 - ideals.illinois.edu
In this thesis, we consider cut and connectivity problems on graphs, digraphs, hypergraphs
and hedgegraphs. The main results are the following:-We introduce a faster algorithm for …

Beating the 2-approximation factor for Global Bicut

K Bérczi, K Chandrasekaran, T Király, E Lee… - Mathematical …, 2019 - Springer
In the fixed-terminal bicut problem, the input is a directed graph with two specified nodes s
and t and the goal is to find a smallest subset of edges whose removal ensures that s cannot …

On approximability and LP formulations for multicut and feedback set problems

V Madan - 2018 - ideals.illinois.edu
Graph cut algorithms are an important tool for solving optimization problems in a variety of
areas in computer science. Of particular importance is the min $ s $-$ t $ cut problem and an …
