Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The max-cut problem is a classical NP-hard problem in graph theory. In this paper, we adopt a local search method, called MCFM, which is a simple modification of the Fiduccia-Mattheyses heuristic method in Fiduccia and Mattheyses (Proc. ACM/IEEE DAC, pp. 175-181, 1982) for the circuit partitioning problem in very large scale integration of circuits and systems. The method uses much less computational cost than general local search methods. Then, an auxiliary function is presented which has the same global maximizers as the max-cut problem. We show that maximization of the function using MCFM can escape successfully from previously converged discrete local maximizers by taking increasing values of a parameter. An algorithm is proposed for the max-cut problem, by maximizing the auxiliary function using MCFM from random initial solutions. Computational experiments were conducted on three sets of standard test instances from the literature. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective for the three sets of standard test instances.
