Given an $m$-edge, undirected, weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a Gomory-Hu tree $T$ (Gomory and Hu, 1961) is a tree over the vertex set $V$ such that all-pairs mincuts in $G$ are preserved exactly in $T$. In this article, we give the first…

The Gomory-Hu tree, or a cut tree, is a classic data structure that stores minimum $s$-$t$ cuts of an undirected weighted graph for all pairs of nodes $(s,t)$. We propose a new approach for computing the cut tree based on a reduction to the…

The Gomory-Hu tree or cut tree (Gomory and Hu, 1961) is a classic data structure for reporting $(s,t)$ mincuts (and by duality, the values of $(s,t)$ maxflows) for all pairs of vertices $s$ and $t$ in an undirected graph. Gomory and Hu…

A cut tree (or Gomory-Hu tree) of an undirected weighted graph G=(V,E) encodes a minimum s-t-cut for each vertex pair {s,t} \subseteq V and can be iteratively constructed by n-1 maximum flow computations. They solve the multiterminal…

This paper studies algorithms for computing a Gomory-Hu tree, which is a classical data structure that compactly stores all minimum $s$-$t$ cuts of an undirected weighted graph. We consider two classes of algorithms: the original method by…

The construction of cut trees (also known as Gomory-Hu trees) for a given graph enables the minimum-cut size of the original graph to be obtained for any pair of vertices. Cut trees are a powerful back-end for graph management and mining,…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a Gomory-Hu tree $T$ (Gomory and Hu, 1961) is a tree on $V$ that preserves all-pairs mincuts of $G$ exactly. We present a simple and efficient randomized reduction from Gomory-Hu trees to polylog…

Gomory-Hu (GH) Trees are a classical sparsification technique for graph connectivity. It is one of the fundamental models in combinatorial optimization which also continually finds new applications, most recently in social network analysis.…

We give an $n^{2+o(1)}$-time algorithm for finding $s$-$t$ min-cuts for all pairs of vertices $s$ and $t$ in a simple, undirected graph on $n$ vertices. We do so by constructing a Gomory-Hu tree (or cut equivalent tree) in the same running…

Gomory-Hu tree [Gomory and Hu, 1961] is a succinct representation of pairwise minimum cuts in an undirected graph. When the input graph has general edge weights, classic algorithms need at least cubic running time to compute a Gomory-Hu…

Every undirected graph $G$ has a (weighted) cut-equivalent tree $T$, commonly named after Gomory and Hu who discovered it in 1961. Both $T$ and $G$ have the same node set, and for every node pair $s,t$, the minimum $(s,t)$-cut in $T$ is…

For an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ with non-negative edge-weights, we consider the following type of query: given two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, what is the weight of a minimum $st$-cut in $G$? We solve this problem in preprocessing…

We design an $n^{2+o(1)}$-time algorithm that constructs a cut-equivalent (Gomory-Hu) tree of a simple graph on $n$ nodes. This bound is almost-optimal in terms of $n$, and it improves on the recent $\tilde{O}(n^{2.5})$ bound by the authors…

Gomory and Hu proved that if $ G $ is a finite graph with non-negative weights on its edges, then there exists a tree $ T $ (called now Gomory-Hu tree) on $ V(G) $ such that for all $ u\neq v\in V(G) $ there is an $ e\in E(T) $ such that…

By a classical result of Gomory and Hu (1961), in every edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, the minimum $st$-cut values, when ranging over all $s,t\in V$, take at most $|V|-1$ distinct values. That is, these $\binom{|V|}{2}$ instances exhibit…

In 1961, Gomory and Hu showed that the All-Pairs Max-Flow problem of computing the max-flow between all $n\choose 2$ pairs of vertices in an undirected graph can be solved using only $n-1$ calls to any (single-pair) max-flow algorithm. Even…
