摘要
Given a grid graph with two rows, an arbitrary number N of columns (briefly, a ladder) and a weight function defined on its vertex set V, one wants to partition V into a given number p of connected components, so as to maximize the smallest weight of a component. We present an O (N(4)p max{p, log N})-time algorithm, which combines dynamic programming with pre-processing and search techniques. An 0 (N) -time algorithm for the case p = 2 is also given. In a companion paper [2] we show that the problem for a grid graph with three rows is NP-hard, and we give approximate algorithms for grid graphs with an arbitrary number of rows.
