An Improved Parameterized Algorithm for the Minimum Node Multiway Cut Problem

The parameterized node multiway cut problem is for a given graph to find a separator of size bounded by k whose removal separates a collection of terminal sets in the graph. In this paper, we develop an O ( k 4 k n 3 ) time algorithm for this problem, significantly improving the previous algorithm o...

Popis
Shrnutí:The parameterized node multiway cut problem is for a given graph to find a separator of size bounded by k whose removal separates a collection of terminal sets in the graph. In this paper, we develop an O ( k 4 k n 3 ) time algorithm for this problem, significantly improving the previous algorithm of time for the problem. Our result gives the first polynomial time algorithm for the minimum node multiway cut problem when the separator size is bounded by O (log  n ).
