We prove that every connected graph G of order n has a spanning tree T such that for every edge e of T the edge-cut defined in G by the vertex sets of the two components of T − e contains at most n 32 many edges which solves a problem posed by Ostrovskii (Minimal congestion trees, Discrete Math. 285 (2004), 219-226.)

Absfmcf-We consider the real-weight maximum cut of a planar graph. Given an undirected planar graph with real-valued weights associated with its edges, find a partition of the vertices into two nonemply sets such that the sum of the weights of the edges connecting the two sets is maximum. The conventional maximum cut and minimum cut problems assume nonnegative edge weights, and thus are special...

Given an undirected edge-weighted graph, G = (V,E), the maximum cut problem (Max-Cut) is to find a bipartition of the vertices that maximizes the weight of the edges crossing the partition. If the edge weights are non-negative, then this problem is equivalent to finding a maximum weight subset of the edges that forms a bipartite subgraph, i.e. the maximum bipartite subgraph problem. All results...

in this study, species richness, evenness and vegetation biodiversity were investigated in stabilized and non-stabilized cut edge areas of chachkam district forest roads in sari forest of iran. 18 micro plots 1×1m (36 micro plots) were sampled to carry out this research on two cut edge areas. number of trees, shrubs and herbaceous were recorded in each micro-plot. significant difference was inv...

In this paper we study the following problem, which we call the weighted routing problem. Let be given a graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights we € R+ and integer edge capacities ce 6 IN and let M = {Ti,.. .,Tjv}, N > 1, be a list of node sets. The weighted routing problem consists in finding edge sets S\,...,Sjq such that, for each A € { 1 , . . . , N}, the subgraph (V(Sk),Sk) contai...

The maximum independent sets in the Doob graphs D(m,n) are analogs of the distance-2 MDS codes in Hamming graphs and of the latin hypercubes. We prove the characterization of these sets stating that every such set is semilinear or reducible. As related objects, we study vertex sets with maximum cut (edge boundary) in D(m,n) and prove some facts on their structure. We show that the considered tw...

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 ver...

The maximum cut problem this paper deals with can be formulated as follows. Given an undirected simple graph G = (V,E) where V and E stand for the node and edge sets respectively, and given weights assigned to the edges: (wij)ij∈E , a cut δ(S), with S ⊆ V is de ned as the set of edges in E with exactly one endnode in S, i.e. δ(S) = {ij ∈ E | |S ∩ {i, j}| = 1}. The weight w(S) of the cut δ(S) is...

‎‎let $g=(v,e)$ be a simple graph‎. ‎an edge labeling $f:eto {0,1}$ induces a vertex labeling $f^+:vtoz_2$ defined by $f^+(v)equiv sumlimits_{uvin e} f(uv)pmod{2}$ for each $v in v$‎, ‎where $z_2={0,1}$ is the additive group of order 2‎. ‎for $iin{0,1}$‎, ‎let‎ ‎$e_f(i)=|f^{-1}(i)|$ and $v_f(i)=|(f^+)^{-1}(i)|$‎. ‎a labeling $f$ is called edge-friendly if‎ ‎$|e_f(1)-e_f(0)|le 1$‎. ‎$i_f(g)=v_f(...
