Parameterized algorithms for min-max multiway cut and list digraph homomorphism

作者:

Highlights:

• We design FPT-algorithms for the following two parameterized problems:

• List Digraph Homomorphism, which is a “list” version of the classical Digraph Homomorphism problem.

• Min-Max Multiway Cut, which is a variant of Multiway Cut.

• We introduce a general problem, List Allocation, and we present parameterized reductions of both aforementioned problems to it.

• We provide an FPT-algorithm for the List Allocation adapting of the randomized contractions technique introduced by Chitnis et al. (2012).
