Let be a (not necessarily simple) undirected edge-weighted graph with nonnegative weights. A cut of is any nontrivial subset of , and the weight of the cut is the sum of weights of edges crossing the cut. A maxcut is then defined as a cut of of maximum weight. Determining the maxcut of a graph is an NP-hard problem.
