Building chain
and cactus representations of all minimum cuts from Hao-Orlin in the
same asymptotic run time
Lisa Fleischer, 1998
A cactus tree is a simple data structure that represents all minimum
cuts of a weighted graph in linear space. We describe the first
algorithm that can build a cactus tree from the asymptotically fastest
deterministic algorithm that finds all minimum cuts in a weighted
graph -- the Hao-Orlin minimum cut algorithm. This improves the time
to construct the cactus in graphs with n vertices and
m edges from O(n³) to
O(nm log n²/m).
