We study graph ordering problems with a min-max objective. A classical problem of this type is cutwidth, where given a graph we want to order its vertices such that the number of edges crossing any point is minimized. We give a $…

In this paper we continue a long line of work on representing the cut structure of graphs. We classify the types minimum vertex cuts, and the possible relationships between multiple minimum vertex cuts. As a consequence of these…

We give an algorithm to find a mincut in an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge weighted directed graph using $\tilde O(\sqrt{n})$ calls to any maxflow subroutine. Using state of the art maxflow algorithms, this yields a directed mincut algorithm that…
