A linear time algorithm for a variant of the max cut problem in series parallel graphs
Given a graph , a connected sides cut or
is the set of edges of E linking all vertices of U to all vertices
of such that the induced subgraphs and are connected. Given a positive weight function defined on , the
maximum connected sides cut problem (MAX CS CUT) is to find a connected sides
cut such that is maximum. MAX CS CUT is NP-hard. In this
paper, we give a linear time algorithm to solve MAX CS CUT for series parallel
graphs. We deduce a linear time algorithm for the minimum cut problem in the
same class of graphs without computing the maximum flow.Comment: 6 page
Max-Cut and Max-Bisection are NP-hard on unit disk graphs
We prove that the Max-Cut and Max-Bisection problems are NP-hard on unit disk
graphs. We also show that -precision graphs are planar for >
1 / \sqrt{2}$
An approximation algorithm for the maximum cut problem and its experimental analysis
AbstractAn approximation algorithm for the maximum cut problem is designed and analyzed; its performance is experimentally compared with that of a neural algorithm and that of Goemans and Williamson's algorithm. Although the guaranteed quality of our algorithm in the worst-case analysis is poor, we give experimental evidence that its average behavior is better than that of Goemans and Williamson's algorithm
