Abstract

Hypergraph k-cut problem is a problem of finding a minimum capacity set of hyperedges whose removal divides a given hypergraph into k connected components. We present an algorithm for this problem which runs in strongly polynomial-time if both k and the rank of the hypergraph are constants. Our algorithm extends the algorithm due to Thorup (2008) for computing minimum k-cuts of graphs from greedy packings of spanning trees.
