In the bounded-degree cut problem, we are given a multigraph G = (V,E), two disjoint vertex subsets A,B ⊆ V , two functions uA,uB : V → {0, 1, . . . , |E|} on V , and an integer k ≥ 0. The task is to determine whether there is a minimal (A,B)-cut (VA, VB) of size at most k such that the degree of each vertex v ∈ VA in the induced subgraph G[VA] is at most uA(v) and the degree of each vertex v ∈ VB in the induced subgraph G[VB ] is at most uB(v). In this paper, we show that the bounded-degree cut problem is fixed-parameter tractable by giving a 218k|G|O(1)-time algorithm. This is the first single exponential FPT algorithm for this problem. The core of the algorithm lies two new lemmas based on important cuts, which give some upper bounds on the number of candidates for vertex subsets in one part of a minimal cut satisfying some properties. These lemmas can be used to design fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for more related problems. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation→ Fixed parameter tractability, Mathematics of computing → Graph algorithms
