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...
