We consider the problem of correlation clustering on graphs with constraints on both the cluster sizes and the positive and negative weights of edges. Our contributions are twofold: First, we introduce the problem of correlation clustering…

We introduce a variant of the multiway cut that we call the min-max connected multiway cut. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\Gamma\subseteq V$ of $t$ terminals, partition $V$ into $t$ parts such that each part is connected and contains…

Correlation clustering is arguably the most natural formulation of clustering. Given n objects and a pairwise similarity measure, the goal is to cluster the objects so that, to the best possible extent, similar objects are put in the same…

We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges leaving a single part. The two main…

In order to study real-world systems, many applied works model them through signed graphs, i.e. graphs whose edges are labeled as either positive or negative. Such a graph is considered as structurally balanced when it can be partitioned…
