Min-UnCut is the problem of dividing the vertices of a finite undirected
graph into two parts so as to minimize the number of edges
within the parts. Either part may be empty, and the parts need not have equal size.
Equivalently, it minimizes the number of edges whose
deletion leaves a bipartite graph. For an unweighted
graph with
edges and at least two vertices,
its optimum is
,
where
is the maxcut
size. A triangle graph has optimum 1, while a bipartite graph has optimum 0.
