As we know, now there is efficient algorithms to find the overall min-cut in a directed graph, e.g. Hao and Orlin (1994). 2 B' f& L! x6 J; T8 Z+ d {, W5 |5 Z2 S# |/ K
Now my problem is to find an overall min-cut just separating some given node pairs, not all the node pairs. For example, I have an 8-node digraph with capacities on each arc and want to find the overall min-cut separating some node pairs such as 8 and 1, 6 and 3, 7 and 1. The algorithm of Hao and Orlin (1994) cannot solve my problem. # K5 R( @& X" b; ]4 r8 \
