Abstract

It is established that any problem of minimization of a general submodular function is the problem of determination of a minimum cut in a network if, for an arbitrary set, the dual function is defined as the sum of its values on the two-element subsets of this set. This result is used to synthesize a network with the help of a cut submodular function.
