Approximating max-cut under graph-MSO constraints. (English) Zbl 1476.90340

Summary: We consider the max-cut and max-\(k\)-cut problems under graph-based constraints. Our approach can handle any constraint specified using monadic second-order (MSO) logic on graphs of constant treewidth. We give a \(\frac{1}{2} \)-approximation algorithm for this class of problems.
