Given an undirected graph with edge costs and a subset of k ≥ 3 nodes called terminals, a multiway, or k-way, cut is a subset of the edges whose removal disconnects each termina...

We consider the problem of counting the number of spanning trees in planar graphs. We prove tight bounds on the complexity of the problem, both in general and especially in the mo...
We consider the real-world problem of extending a given infrastructure network in order to connect new customers. By representing the infrastructure by a single root node, this pro...
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently introduced tree-...
—This paper considers the problem of interactively finding the cutting contour to extract components from an existing mesh. First, we propose a constrained random walks algorith...
