The graphs with the max-Mader-flow-min-multiway-cut property

چکیده
We are given a graph G, an independant set S ⊂ V (G) of terminals, and a function w : V (G) → N. We want to know if the maximum w-packing of vertex-disjoint paths with extremities in S is equal to the minimum weight of a vertex-cut separating S. We call Mader-Mengerian the graphs with this property for each independant set S and each weight function w. We give a characterization of these graphs in term of forbidden minors, as well as a recognition algorithm and a simple algorithm to find maximum packing of paths and minimum multicuts in those graphs.

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 ...
متن کاملA Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem with Applications in Small Worlds and Dual Radio Networks
Intrigued by the capacity of random networks, we start by proving a max-flow min-cut theorem that is applicable to any random graph obeying a suitably defined independence-in-cut property. We then show that this property is satisfied by relevant classes, including small world topologies, which are pervasive in both man-made and natural networks, and wireless networks of dual devices, which expl...
متن کاملParameterized Algorithms for Min-Max Multiway Cut and List Digraph Homomorphism
In this paper we design FPT-algorithms for two parameterized problems. The first is List Digraph Homomorphism: given two digraphs G and H and a list of allowed vertices of H for every vertex of G, the question is whether there exists a homomorphism from G to H respecting the list constraints. The second problem is a variant of Multiway Cut, namely Min-Max Multiway Cut: given a graph G, a non-ne...
متن کاملReduced 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...
متن کاملCommunication-Efficient Parallel Multiway and Approximate Minimum Cut Computation
We examine diierent variants of minimum cut problems on undi-rected weighted graphs on the p-processor bulk synchronous parallel BSP model of Valiant. This model and the corresponding cost measure guide algorithm designers to develop work eecient algorithms that need only very little communication. Karger and Stein have presented a recursive contraction algorithm to solve minimum cut problems. ...
