Abstract

A min-max theorem is developed for the multiway cut problem of edge-weighted trees. We present a polynomial time algorithm to construct an optimal dual solution, if edge weights come in unary representation. Applications to biology also require some more complex edge weights. We describe a dynamic programming type algorithm for this more general problem from biology and show that our min-max theorem does not apply to it. © 1994 The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc.
