Abstract

Partitioning is a fundamental problem in diverse fields of study such as knowledge discovery, data mining, image segmentation and grouping. The min-cut bipartitioning problem is a fundamental graph partitioning problem and is NP-Complete. In this paper, we present an effective multi-level algorithm based on simulated annealing for bisecting graph. The success of our algorithm relies on exploiting both the simulated annealing procedure and the concept of the graph core. Our experimental evaluations on 18 different graphs show that our algorithm produces encouraging solutions compared with those produced by MeTiS that is a state-of-the-art partitioner in the literature.
