minCut

Compute min-cut for an undirected graph


Description

Compute min-cut for an undirected graph

Usage

minCut(g)

Arguments

g

an instance of the graph class with edgemode “undirected”

Details

Given an undirected graph G=(V, E) of a single connected component, a cut is a partition of the set of vertices into two non-empty subsets S and V-S, a cost is the number of edges that are incident on one vertex in S and one vertex in V-S. The min-cut problem is to find a cut (S, V-S) of minimum cost.

For simplicity, the returned subset S is the smaller of the two subsets.

Value

A list of

mincut

the number of edges to be severed to obtain the minimum cut

S

the smaller subset of vertices in the minimum cut

V-S

the other subset of vertices in the minimum cut
