摘要
The minimum 3-way cut problem in an edge-weighted hypergraph is to find a partition of the vertices into 3 nonempty sets minimizing the total weight of hyperedges that have at least two endpoints in two different sets. In this paper we show that a minimum 3-way cut in hypergraphs can be found by using O(n(3)) hypergraph minimum (s, t) cut computations, where n is the number of vertices in the hypergraph. Our simple algorithm is the first polynomial-time algorithm for finding minimum 3-way cuts in hypergraphs. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
