Approximation algorithms for the Weighted t-Uniform Sparsest Cut and some other graph partitioning problems

作者:

Highlights:

• An O(log t) bicriteria approximation algorithm for the Weighted t-USC problem.

• The first approximation algorithm with approximation factor independent of n.

• For t=no(1) the algorithm gives the best approximation factor.

• The algorithm is deterministic and requires solving a LP instead of a SDP.

• Approx algorithms for Weighted k-Unbalanced Cut and Min–Max k-Partitioning problems.
