Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite connected graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, and let $U(G)$ be the set of all ultrametric spaces $(V,d_l)$ generated by vertex labelings $l\colon V \to \mathbb R^+$. We prove that the inequality $$ |D(V)|…

Robertson and Seymour proved that for every finite tree $H$, there exists $k$ such that every finite graph $G$ with no $H$ minor has path-width at most $k$; and conversely, for every integer $k$, there is a finite tree $H$ such that every…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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, efficient reduction from Gomory-Hu trees to polylog maxflow…

Given an undirected, weighted $n$-vertex graph $G = (V, E, w)$, a Gomory-Hu tree $T$ is a weighted tree on $V$ such that for any pair of distinct vertices $s, t \in V$, the Min-$s$-$t$-Cut on $T$ is also a Min-$s$-$t$-Cut on $G$. Computing…

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…

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…

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…

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…

We prove that every graph which admits a tree-decomposition into finite parts has a rooted tree-decomposition into finite parts that is linked, tight and componental. As an application, we obtain that every graph without half-grid minor has…

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…

We prove that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ defined by finitely many excluded induced subgraphs has bounded tree-$\alpha$ if and only if it is "$(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded" (that is, for all $t\in \mathbb N$, the class of all…

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,…

A proper total weighting of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\phi$ which assigns to each vertex and each edge of $G$ a real number as its weight so that for any edge $uv$ of $G$, $\sum_{e \in E(v)}\phi(e)+\phi(v) \ne \sum_{e \in…

We show that all the tangles in a finite graph or matroid can be distinguished by a single tree-decomposition that is invariant under the automorphisms of the graph or matroid. This comes as a corollary of a similar decomposition theorem…

A tree with at most k leaves is called k-ended tree, and a tree with exactly k leaves is called k-end tree, where a leaf is a vertex of degree one. Contraction of a graph G along the edge e means deleting the edge e and identifying its end…

We call a tree $T$ is \emph{even} if every pair of its leaves is joined by a path of even length. Jackson and Yoshimoto~[J. Graph Theory, 2024] conjectured that every $r$-regular nonbipartite connected graph $G$ has a spanning even tree.…
