Minimum k-Cut

Graph Algorithm

The minimum k-cut is a combinatorial optimization problem that asks for a set of edges, called a k-cut, whose removal partitions a graph into at least k connected components, with the objective of finding the minimum weight such set. It has practical applications in VLSI design, data mining, finite element analysis, and parallel computing communications.

Uses Design Technique

Entity-backed identity for the design-technique enum value this algorithm already carries, resolved to a computing concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The design-technique fact itself stays on the algorithm unchanged.
