Intractability of min- and max-cut in streaming graphs

نویسنده

  • Mariano Zelke
چکیده

We show that the exact computation of a minimum or a maximum cut of a given graph G is out of reach for any one-pass streaming algorithm, that is, for any algorithm that runs over the input stream of G’s edges only once and has a working memory of o(n) bits. This holds even if randomization is allowed.

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 λ-precision graphs are planar for λ > 1/ √ 2 and give a dichotomy theorem for max-cut computational complexity on λ-precision unit disk graphs.

Reduced graphs for min-cut/max-flow approaches in image segmentation

In few years, min-cut/max-flow approach has become a leading method for solving a wide range of problems in computer vision. However, min-cut/max-flow approaches involve the construction of huge graphs which sometimes do not fit in memory. Currently, most of the max-flow algorithms are impracticable to solve such large scale problems. In this paper, we introduce a new strategy for reducing exac...

Min-Max Multiway Cut

We propose the Min-max multiway cut problem, a variant of the traditional Multiway cut problem, but with the goal of minimizing the maximum capacity (rather than the sum or average capacity) leaving a part of the partition. The problem is motivated by data partitioning in Peer-to-Peer networks. The min-max objective function forces the solution not to overload any given terminal, and hence may ...

MAX-CSP, Graph Cuts and Statistical Physics

Baker’s technique, which was created over three decades ago, is a powerful tool for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTAS) for NP-hard optimization problems on planar graphs and their generalizations. In this paper, we propose a unified framework to formulate the optimization problems where the local constraints of these problems are encoded by functions attached on the vertices...

Logical s-t Min-Cut Problem: An Extension to the Classic s-t Min-Cut Problem

Let $G$ be a weighted digraph, $s$ and $t$ be two vertices of $G$, and $t$ is reachable from $s$. The logical $s$-$t$ min-cut (LSTMC) problem states how $t$ can be made unreachable from $s$ by removal of some edges of $G$ where (a) the sum of weights of the removed edges is minimum and (b) all outgoing edges of any vertex of $G$ cannot be removed together. If we ignore the second constraint, ca...
