✦ Synopsis


A cactus is a simple data structure that represents all minimum cuts of a weighted, undirected graph in linear space. We describe the first algorithm that can build a cactus from the asymptotically fastest deterministic algorithm that finds all minimum cuts in a weighted graphᎏthe Hao᎐Orlin minimum cut algorithm. This improves the deterministic time to construct the cactus in graphs with n Ž 3 . Ž 2 . vertices and m edges from O n to O nm log n rm .
