摘要
The problem of determining a sparsest cut in a graph is characterized and its computation shown to be NP-hard. A class of sparsest cuts, termed bottlenecks, is characterized by a dual relation to a particular polynomial time computable multicommodity flow problem. Efficient computational techniques for determining bottlenecks in a broad class of instances are presented. © 1990.
