Abstract

The maximum cardinality cut (MaxCut) problem remains NP-complete for co-bipartite graphs and
 for split graphs. Based on modular decomposition, in [3] it is shown that MaxCut is polynomial-time solvable for graphs that are factorable to bounded treewidth graphs. However, this approach fails in co-bipartite graphs because the modules of a co-bipartite graph are exactly twins and connected components. In this work we extend the result of [3] to co-bipartite graphs using the concept of bimodules and bimodular decomposition proposed in [6]. Namely, we show thatMaxCut is polynomial-time solvable for co-bipartite graphs that can be factored to bounded treewidth graphs using bimodular decomposition.
