  1. Cuts under contractions Observation A cut in G / xy is a valid cut in G . 1 There ∃ cuts in G are not in G / xy . 2 The cut S = { x } is not in G / xy . 3 = ⇒ size mincut in G / xy ≥ mincut in G . 4 Idea: Repeatedly perform edge contractions (benefits: shrink 1 graph)... Every vertex in contracted graph is a connected component in 2 the original graph.) Sariel (UIUC) CS573 8 Fall 2014 8 / 37

  35. Lemma... Lemma G : mincut of size k and n vertices, then | E ( G ) | ≥ kn 2 . Proof. Each vertex degree is at least k , otherwise the vertex itself would form a minimum cut of size smaller than k .

There are at least nk / 2 edges in the graph and exactly k edges in the minimum cut. Thus, the probability of picking an edge from the minimum cut is smaller then k / ( nk / 2) = 2 / n .

  48. Running time analysis... Observation MinCut runs in O ( n 2 ) time. Observation The algorithm always outputs a cut, and the cut is not smaller than the minimum cut. Definition Amplification : running an experiment again and again till the things we want to happen, with good probability, do happen. Sariel (UIUC) CS573 19 Fall 2014 19 / 37

  49. Getting a good probability MinCutRep : algorithm runs MinCut n ( n − 1) times and return the minimum cut computed. Lemma probability MinCutRep fails to return the minimum cut is < 0 . 14 . Proof. MinCut fails to output the mincut in each execution is at most 2 1 − n ( n − 1) . MinCutRep fails, only if all n ( n − 1) executions of MinCut fail. � n ( n − 1) ≤ exp � � � 2 2 1 − − n ( n − 1) · n ( n − 1) = exp( − 2) < n ( n − 1) 0 . 14 , since 1 − x ≤ e − x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 .

  68. Theorem Theorem One can compute the minimum cut in a graph G with n vertices in O ( n 2 log 3 n ) time. The algorithm succeeds with probability ≥ 1 − 1 / n 2 . Proof. We do amplification on FastCut by running it O (log 2 n ) times. The running time bound follows from lemma... Sariel (UIUC) CS573 29 Fall 2014 29 / 37
