Min st-Cut of a Planar Graph in O(n loglog n) Time
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a planar undirected n-vertex graph G with non-negative edge weights, we show how to compute, for given vertices s and t in G, a min st-cut in G in O(n log log n) time and O(n) space. The previous best time bound was O(n log n).

Minimum Cut of Directed Planar Graphs in O(n log log n) Time
We give an O(n log log n) time algorithm for computing the minimum cut (or equivalently, the shortest cycle) of a weighted directed planar graph. This improves the previous fastest O(n log n) solution [SODA’04]. Interestingly, while in undirected planar graphs both min-cut and min st-cut have O(n log log n) solutions [ESA’11, STOC’11], in directed planar graphs our result makes min-cut faster t...
متن کاملMinimum s-t cut in undirected planar graphs when the source and the sink are close
Consider the minimum s − t cut problem in an embedded undirected planar graph. Let p be the minimum number of faces that a curve from s to t passes through. If p = 1, that is, the vertices s and t are on the boundary of the same face, then the minimum cut can be found in O(n) time. For general planar graphs this cut can be found in O(n log n) time. We unify these results and give an O(n log p) ...
متن کاملon Karger ’ s Min - Cut Algorithm
Traditionally, the min-cut problem was solved by solving n − 1 min-st-cut problems. In the min-st-cut problem we are given as input two vertices s and t, our aim is to find the set S where s ∈ S and t / ∈ S which minimizes the size of the cut (S, S), i.e., |δ(S)|. The size of the min-st-cut is equal to the value of the max-st-flow (equivalent by linear programming duality). The fastest algorith...
متن کاملImproved Minimum Cuts and Maximum Flows in Undirected Planar Graphs
In this paper we study minimum cut and maximum flow problems on planar graphs, both in static and in dynamic settings. First, we present an algorithm that given an undirected planar graph computes the minimum cut between any two given vertices in O(n log logn) time. Second, we show how to achieve the same O(n log logn) bound for the problem of computing maximum flows in undirected planar graphs...
متن کاملMinimum Cycle Basis and All-Pairs Min Cut of a Planar Graph in Subquadratic Time
A minimum cycle basis of a weighted undirected graph G is a basis of the cycle space of G such that the total weight of the cycles in this basis is minimized. If G is a planar graph with non-negative edge weights, such a basis can be found in O(n2) time and space, where n is the size of G. We show that this is optimal if an explicit representation of the basis is required. We then present an O(...
