A simple combinatorial algorithm for submodular function minimization

This paper presents a new simple algorithm for minimizing submodular functions. For integer valued submodular functions, the algorithm runs in O(n6EO log nM) [O (n superscript 6 E O log nM)] time, where n is the cardinality of the ground set, M is the maximum absolute value of the function value, an...
