Optimal cuts and partitions in tree metrics in polynomial time

Karpinski, Marek ; Lingas, Andrzej LU and Sledneu, Dzmitry LU (2013) In Information Processing Letters 113(12). p.447-451
Abstract
We present a polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm for optimal partitions in the shortest path metric induced by a tree. This resolves, among other things, the exact complexity status of the optimal partition problems in one-dimensional geometric metric settings. Our method of solution could be also of independent interest in other applications. We discuss also an extension of our method to the class of metrics induced by the bounded treewidth graphs.
