An $s{\operatorname{-}}t$ minimum cut in a graph corresponds to a minimum weight subset of edges whose removal disconnects vertices $s$ and $t$. Finding such a cut is a classic problem that is dual to that of finding a maximum flow from $s$…

Computing a minimum $s$-$t$ cut in a graph is a solution to a wide range of computer vision problems, and is often done using the Boykov-Kolmogorov (BK) algorithm. In this paper, we revisit the BK algorithm from both a theoretical and…

The subgraph enumeration problem asks us to find all subgraphs of a target graph that are isomorphic to a given pattern graph. Determining whether even one such isomorphic subgraph exists is NP-complete---and therefore finding all such…

The sparsest cut problem consists of identifying a small set of edges that breaks the graph into balanced sets of vertices. The normalized cut problem balances the total degree, instead of the size, of the resulting sets. Applications of…

A common way of partitioning graphs is through minimum cuts. One drawback of classical minimum cut methods is that they tend to produce small groups, which is why more balanced variants such as normalized and ratio cuts have seen more…
