Merged/Todo

I merged the old page Karger's randomize min-cut algorithm into this page as requested, but the resulting article need some more work.

Edge weights were mentioned once in the article; I've removed that. Weighted graphs should be discussed properly, though.
Karger (1993) discusses a parallel version of the algorithm.
One of the theorems isn't really one; "with high probability" isn't precise enough.
The definition of the minimum cut problem belongs in its own article.
The content from the other page needs copyediting.

What is cn?

What does cn stand for in the formula? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.220.36.148 (talk) 20:07, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

what is min{}

what does min{} mean in the fastmincut pseudocode?

it takes two graphs. so it is the number of edges left? number of nodes left? Extremmist (talk) 13:57, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
