This paper presents the first combinatorial polynomial algorithm for minimizing bisubmodular functions, extending the scaling algorithm for submodular function minimization due to ...
Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...
