Given an undirected graph with edge costs and a subset of k nodes called terminals, a multiway cut is a subset of edges whose removal disconnects each terminal from the rest. Multiway Cut is the problem of finding a multiway cut of minimum cost. Previously, a very simple combinatorial algorithm due

The problem of completing partial latin squares arises in a number of applications, including conflict-free wavelength routing in wide-area optical networks, statistical designs, and error-correcting codes. A partial latin square is an n by n array such that each cell is either empty or contains exa
MAX SAT (the maximum s~tisfiability problem) is stated as follows: given a set of clauses with weights, find a truth assignment that maximizes the sum of the weights of the satisfied clauses. In this paper, we consider approxima~ tion algorithms for MAX SAT proposed by Goemans and Williamson and pze
