A cut in a graph G = (V(G), E(G)) is the boundary 6(S) of some subset S V(G) and the maximum cut problem for G is to find the maximum number of edges in a cut. Let MC(G) denote this maximum. For any given 0 < a < 1, E > 0, and 17, we give a randomized algorithm which runs in a polynomial time and wh

โฆ Synopsis
Metric MAX-CUT is the problem of dividing a set of points in metric space into two parts so as to maximize the sum of the distances between points belonging to distinct parts. We show that metric MAX-CUT is NP-complete but has a polynomial time randomized approximation scheme.

We present a randomized approximation algorithm for the metric version of undirected Max TSP. Its expected performance guarantee approaches 7 8 as n โ โ, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.
We study various properties of an eigenvalue upper bound on the max-cut problem. We show that the bound behaves in a manner similar to the max-cut for the operations of switching, vertex splitting, contraction and decomposition. It can also be adjusted for branch and bound techniques. We introduce a
A discrete filled function algorithm is proposed for approximate global solutions of max-cut problems. A new discrete filled function is defined for max-cut problems and the properties of the filled function are studied. Unlike general filled function methods, using the characteristic of max-cut pro
