Agentic Algorithm Engineering: Improving Shared-Memory Exact Minimum Cuts

David A. Bader, Adil Chhabra, Ernestine Großmann +3

The minimum cut problem for an undirected edge-weighted graph asks us to divide its set of nodes into two blocks while minimizing the weighted sum of the cut edges. Over the last y…

Finding Maximum Weight 2-Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs

Jannick Borowitz, Ernestine Großmann, Christian Schulz

A 2-packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w) is a subset S of the vertices V such that any two vertices are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum We…
