Abstract

In this paper, we present efficient pseudodeterministic algorithms for both the global minimum cut and minimum s-t cut problems. The running time of our algorithm for the global minimum cut problem is asymptotically better than the fastest sequential deterministic global minimum cut algorithm (Henzinger, Li, Rao, Wang; SODA 2024). Furthermore, we implement our algorithm in sequential, streaming, PRAM, and cut-query models, where no efficient deterministic global minimum cut algorithms are known.
