Algorithms for Symmetric Submodular Function Minimization under Hereditary Constraints and Generalizations

We present an efficient algorithm to find nonempty minimizers of a symmetric submodular function f over any family of sets I closed under inclusion. Our algorithm makes O(n[superscript 3]) oracle calls to f and I, where n is the cardinality of the ground set. In contrast, the problem of minimizing a...
