The Max k-Uncut problem arose from the study of homophily of large-scale networks. Given an n-vertex undirected graph with nonnegative weights defined on edges and a positive integer k, the Max k-Uncut problem asks to find a partition of V such that the total weight of edges that are not cut is maximized. This problem is the complement of the classic Min k-Cut problem, and was proved to have surprisingly rich connection to the Densest k-Subgraph problem. In this paper, we give an approximation algorithm for Max k-Uncut using a non-uniform approach combining LP-rounding and the greedy strategy. The algorithm partitions the vertices of G into at least parts in expectation, and achieves a good expected approximation ratio .

近似最大k-通过LP舍入加贪婪进行未切割,应用于Densest k -Subgraph
在最大 ķ -Uncut问题从同质大规模网络的研究出现。给定一个n -vertex无向图在边上定义了非负权重并使用正整数k时,Max k -Uncut问题要求找到一个分区的V使得边缘是总重量不切断被最大化。该问题是经典Min k- Cut问题的补充,并被证明与Densest k -Subgraph问题具有令人惊讶的丰富联系。在本文中,我们使用结合了LP舍入和贪婪策略的非均匀方法,给出了Max k -Uncut的近似算法。该算法将G的顶点至少划分为 符合预期,并达到良好的预期近似率 。
