Title
A PTAS for the Cluster Editing Problem on Planar Graphs.
Abstract
The goal of the cluster editing problem is to add or delete a minimum number of edges from a given graph, so that the resulting graph becomes a union of disjoint cliques. The cluster editing problem is closely related to correlation clustering and has applications, e.g. in image segmentation. For general graphs this problem is APX-hard. In this paper we present an efficient polynomial time approximation scheme for the cluster editing problem on graphs embeddable in the plane with a few edge crossings. The running time of the algorithm is 2(O)(epsilon(-1) log(epsilon(-1)))(n) for planar graphs and 2(O)(k(2) epsilon(-1) log(k(2) epsilon(-1)))(n) for planar graphs with at most k crossings.
