چکیده

The minimum 3-way cut problem in an edge-weighted hypergraph is to find a partition of the vertices into 3 sets minimizing the total weight of hyperedges with at least two endpoints in two different sets. In this paper we present some structural properties for minimum 3-way cuts and design an O(dmn) algorithm for the minimum 3-way cut problem in hypergraphs, where n and m are the numbers of vertices and edges respectively, and d is the sum of the degrees of all the vertices. Our algorithm is the first deterministic algorithm finding minimum 3-way cuts in hypergraphs.

Computing Minimum Multiway Cuts in Hypergraphs from Hypertree Packings

Hypergraph multiway cut problem is a problem of finding a minimum capacity set of hyperedges whose removal divides a given hypergraph into a specified number of connected components. We present an algorithm for this problem which runs in strongly polynomial-time if both the specified number of connected components and the maximum size of hyperedges in the hypergraph are constants. Our algorithm...

Computing minimum cuts in hypergraphs

We study algorithmic and structural aspects of connectivity in hypergraphs. Given a hypergraph H = (V, E) with n= |V |, m= |E| and p = ∑ e∈E |e| the fastest known algorithm to compute a global minimum cut in H runs in O(np) time for the uncapacitated case, and in O(np+ n2 log n) time for the capacitated case. We show the following new results. • Given an uncapacitated hypergraph H and an intege...

MATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Cyber Security Analysis of Power Networks by Hypergraph Cut Algorithms

This paper presents exact solution methods for analyzing vulnerability of electric power networks to a certain kind of undetectable attacks known as false data injection attacks. We show that the problems of finding the minimum number of measurement points to be attacked undetectably reduce to minimum cut problems on hypergraphs, which admit efficient combinatorial algorithms. Experimental resu...

Sequence Hypergraphs

We introduce sequence hypergraphs by extending the concept of a directed edge (from simple directed graphs) to hypergraphs. Specifically, every hyperedge of a sequence hypergraph is defined as a sequence of vertices (imagine it as a directed path). Note that this differs substantially from the standard definition of directed hypergraphs. Sequence hypergraphs are motivated by problems in public ...

Strongly polynomial bounds for multiobjective and parametric global minimum cuts in graphs and hypergraphs

We consider multiobjective and parametric versions of the global minimum cut problem in undirected graphs and bounded-rank hypergraphs with multiple edge cost functions. For a fixed number of edge cost functions, we show that the total number of supported non-dominated (SND) cuts is bounded by a polynomial in the numbers of nodes and edges, i.e., is strongly polynomial. This bound also applies ...
