Polyhedral studies for the multicut problem in hypergraphs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36003
The Multicut Problem in Hypergraphs can be defined as follows. Given a hypergraph G = (V, E) with weights assigned to the hyperedges, find a partition of the node set of the hypergraph that satisfies some constraints and minimizes the sum of the weights of the hyperedges whose nodes are divided into more than one subset of the partition. This problem arises in an application on the design of mainframe computers. In this talk we present a polyhedral investigation of the problem and show some computational results of a branch and cut algorithm we implemented for it.
