Title
The vertex k-cut problem.
Abstract
Given an undirected graph G=(V,E), a vertex k-cut of G is a vertex subset of V the removing of which disconnects the graph in at least k components. Given a graph G and an integer k≥2, the vertex k-cut problem consists in finding a vertex k-cut of G of minimum cardinality. We first prove that the problem is NP-hard for any fixed k≥3. We then present a compact formulation, and an extended formulation from which we derive a column generation and a branching scheme. Extensive computational results prove the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
