Applying partial differential equations on networks to approximate the Max-Cut and Max-K-Cut problems

The Max-Cut and Max-K-Cut problems are well known combinatorial optimization problems. In this thesis we produce fast approximation methods for these problems by applying methods from partial differential equations on networks. Given a graph G, a cut is a partition of the vertex set of G into two...
