Genus and the geometry of the cut graph: [extended abstract]
[chapter]
2010
Proceedings of the Twenty-First Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
Using these geometric primitives, we present exponentially improved dependence on genus for a number of problems like approximate max-flow/mincut theorems, approximations for uniform and nonuniform Sparsest ...
In particular, we give optimal bounds for random partitioning schemes, as well as various types of embeddings. ...
Speaking to the power of such random partitions, this has a number of applications to, e.g. approximate max-flow/min-cut theorems, approximations for uniform and non-uniform Sparsest Cut, treewidth approximation ...

We give polynomial time approximation schemes for the following three clustering problems: Metric k-Clustering, 2 2 k-Clustering, and 2 2 k-Median. ...
For the first two problems, our results are the first polynomial time approximation schemes. For the third problem, the running time of our algorithms is a vast improvement over previous work. ...
Our algorithm uses, as a black box, an approximation scheme for Metric Max-k-Cut which is already known in the litterature. ...

Bilu–Linial Stable Instances of Max Cut and Minimum Multiway Cut
[chapter]
2013
Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
We also study a relaxed notion of weak stability and present algorithms for weakly stable instances of Max Cut and Minimum Multiway Cut. ...
We prove that there is no robust polynomialtime algorithm for γ-stable instances of Max Cut when γ < α SC (n/2), where α SC is the best approximation factor for Sparsest Cut with non-uniform demands. ...
Other known rounding schemes for Multiway Cut achieve a better approximation; e.g. the rounding scheme of Cȃlinescu, Karloff, and Rabani [15] gives a 3/2 approximation. ...

pre-print
We prove that there is no robust polynomial-time algorithm for γ-stable instances of Max Cut when γ < α_SC(n/2), where α_SC is the best approximation factor for Sparsest Cut with non-uniform demands. ...
We show that the standard SDP relaxation for Max Cut (with ℓ_2^2 triangle inequalities) is integral if γ≥ D_ℓ_2^2→ℓ_1(n), where D_ℓ_2^2→ℓ_1(n) is the least distortion with which every n point metric space ...
Note that in general this rounding scheme gives only a 2 approximation for Multiway Cut. ...

Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes for Dense Instances of NP-Hard Problems
1999
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
We present a uni ed framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for \dense" instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut, graph bisection, graph separation ...
However, recent results show that unless P = NP, PTASs do not exist for many NP-hard problems, including all MAX-SNP-hard problems such as vertex cover, maximum 3-satis ability, maximum cut, metric TSP ...
However, the operation of taking the complement of a sparse graph yields a dense graph, for which we have just given approximation algorithms for MAX-CUT. ...
