  • In this paper, we propose a novel centralized energy-efficient clustering algorithm, called "MCCA : Max k-Cut based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks." The algorithm does not use location information and constructs clusters via a distributive Max k-Cut based cluster-head election method, where only relative and approximate distance information with neighbor nodes is used and nodes, not having enough energy, are excluded for cluster-heads for a specific period. We show that the energy efficiency performance of MCCA is better than that of LEACH, EECS and similar to BCDCP's by simulation studies.

  • Most of previous genetic algorithms for solving graph problems have used a vertex-based encoding. We proposed an edge encoding based new genetic algorithm using a spanning tree. Contrary to general edge-based encoding, a spanning tree-based encoding represents only feasible partitions. As a target problem, we adopted the MAX CUT problem, which is well known as a representative NP-hard problem, and examined the performance of the proposed genetic algorithm. The experiments on benchmark graphs are executed and compared with vertex-based encoding. Performance improvements of the spanning tree-based encoding on sparse graphs was observed.

  • We show that when a max-cut problem is allowed native-weight edges, to decide if the problem has a cut of a positive weight is NP-hard. This implies that there is no polynomial time algorithm which guarantees a cut whose objective value is no less than $1/p(<I>)$ times the optimum for any polynomially computable polynomial p, where denotes the encoding length of an instance I.

  • The baseball elimination problem(BEP) is eliminates teams that finishes the season in the early stage without play the remaining games because of the team never most wins even though all wins of remaining games. This problem solved by max-flow/min-cut theorem. But the max-flow/min-cut method has a shortcoming of iterative constructs the network for all of team and decides the min-cut for each network. This paper suggests ascending sort in wins game plus remaining games for each team, then the candidate eliminating team set K with lower 1/2 rank and most easy, simple, and fast computes the existence or not of subset R that a team elimination decision. As a result of various experimental data, this algorithm can be find all of elimination teams for whole data with fast and correct.

  • The minimum cut problem is to minimize c(S,T), that is, to determine source S and sink T such that the capacity of the S-T cut is minimal. The flow-based algorithm is mostly used to find the bottleneck arcs by calculating flow network, and does not presents the minimum cut. This paper suggests an algorithm that simply includes the maximum capacity vertex to adjacent set S or T and finds the minimum cut without obtaining flow network in advance. On applying the suggested algorithm to 13 limited graphs, it can be finds the minimum cut value $_{\min}c$(S, T) with simply and correctly.

  • Given digraph network $D=(N,A),n{\in}N,a=c(u,v){\in}A$ with source s and sink t, the maximum flow from s to t is determined by cut (S, T) that splits N to $s{\in}S$ and $t{\in}T$ disjoint sets with minimum cut value. The Ford-Fulkerson (F-F) algorithm with time complexity $O(NA^2)$ has been well known to this problem. The F-F algorithm finds all possible augmenting paths from s to t with residual capacity arcs and determines bottleneck arc that has a minimum residual capacity among the paths. After completion of algorithm, you should be determine the minimum cut by combination of bottleneck arcs. This paper suggests maximum adjacency merging and compute cut value method is called by MA-merging algorithm. We start the initial value to S={s}, T={t}, Then we select the maximum capacity $_{max}c(u,v)$ in the graph and merge to adjacent set S or T. Finally, we compute cut value of S or T. This algorithm runs n-1 times. We experiment Ford-Fulkerson and MA-merging algorithm for various 8 digraph. As a results, MA-merging algorithm can be finds minimum cut during the n-1 running times with time complexity O(N).

  • In this paper, we use non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to refine the document clustering results. NMF is a dimensional reduction method and effective for document clustering, because a term-document matrix is high-dimensional and sparse. The initial matrix of the NMF algorithm is regarded as a clustering result, therefore we can use NMF as a refinement method. First we perform min-max cut (Mcut), which is a powerful spectral clustering method, and then refine the result via NMF. Finally we should obtain an accurate clustering result. However, NMF often fails to improve the given clustering result. To overcome this problem, we use the Mcut object function to stop the iteration of NMF.

  • Given weighted graph G=(V,E), n=|V|, m=|E|, the minimum cut problem is classified with source s and sink t or without s and t. Given undirected weighted graph without s and t, Stoer-Wagner algorithm is most popular. This algorithm fixes arbitrary vertex, and arranges maximum adjacency (MA)-ordering. In the last, the sum of weights of the incident edges for last ordered vertex is computed by cut value, and the last 2 vertices are merged. Therefore, this algorithm runs $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ times. Given graph with s and t, Ford-Fulkerson algorithm determines the bottleneck edges in the arbitrary augmenting path from s to t. If the augmenting path is no more exist, we determine the minimum cut value by combine the all of the bottleneck edges. This paper suggests minimum cut algorithm for undirected weighted graph with s and t. This algorithm suggests MA-merging and computes cut value simultaneously. This algorithm runs n-1 times and successfully divides V into disjoint S and V sets on the basis of minimum cut, but the Stoer-Wagner is fails sometimes. The proposed algorithm runs more than Ford-Fulkerson algorithm, but finds the minimum cut value within n-1 processing times.

  • In order to control interference and improve spectrum efficiency in the femtocell and macrocell overlaid system (FMOS), we propose a joint frequency bandwidth dynamic division, clustering and power control algorithm (JFCPA) for orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple access-based downlink FMOS. The overall system bandwidth is divided into three bands, and the macro-cellular coverage is divided into two areas according to the intensity of the interference from the macro base station to the femtocells, which are dynamically determined by using the JFCPA. A cluster is taken as the unit for frequency reuse among femtocells. We map the problem of clustering to the MAX k-CUT problem with the aim of eliminating the inter-femtocell collision interference, which is solved by a graph-based heuristic algorithm. Frequency bandwidth sharing or splitting between the femtocell tier and the macrocell tier is determined by a step-migration-algorithm-based power control. Simulations conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm showed the frequency-reuse probability of the FMOS reuse band above 97.6% and at least 70% of the frequency bandwidth available for the macrocell tier, which means that the co-tier and the cross-tier interference were effectively controlled. Thus, high spectrum efficiency was achieved. The simulation results also clarified that the planning of frequency resource allocation in FMOS should take into account both the spatial density of femtocells and the interference suffered by them. Statistical results from our simulations also provide guidelines for actual FMOS planning.
