Exact Solution of Permuted Submodular MinSum Problems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 4679))

Abstract

In this work we show, that for each permuted submodular MinSum problem (Energy Minimization Task) the corresponding submodular MinSum problem can be found in polynomial time. It follows, that permuted submodular MinSum problems are exactly solvable by transforming them into corresponding submodular tasks followed by applying standart approaches (e.g. using MinCut-MaxFlow based techniques).
