Abstract

Significant research effort has been devoted in the study of approximation algorithms for NP-hard problems. Ap-proximation algorithm for Max-Cut problem with performance guarantee of 0. 87856 is long known. In this work we study balanced Max-Cut problem. We give a balancing factor ? for given ? such that the approximate solution is at least 0. 87856 times the optimal ?-balanced cut and it is itself ?-balanced.
