Optimal 3-terminal cuts and linear programming
Given an undirected graph G = (V;E) and three speci ed terminal nodes t1;t2;t3, a 3-cut is a subset A of E such that no two terminals are in the same component of GnA. If a non-neg...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
