A Simple Algorithm for Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time

Authors: Nalin Bhardwaj, Antonio J. Molina Lovett, and Bryce Sandlund

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 162, 17th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2020)

Abstract
We consider the minimum cut problem in undirected, weighted graphs. We give a simple algorithm to find a minimum cut that 2-respects (cuts two edges of) a spanning tree T of a graph G. This procedure can be used in place of the complicated subroutine given in Karger’s near-linear time minimum cut algorithm [Karger, 2000]. We give a self-contained version of Karger’s algorithm with the new procedure, which is easy to state and relatively simple to implement. It produces a minimum cut on an m-edge, n-vertex graph in O(m log³ n) time with high probability, matching the complexity of Karger’s approach.
