Complexity Dichotomies for the Maximum Weighted Digraph Partition Problem

Abstract

We introduce and study a new optimization problem on digraphs, termed Maximum Weighted Digraph Partition (MWDP) problem. We prove three complexity dichotomies for MWDP: on arbitrary digraphs, on oriented digraphs, and on symmetric digraphs. We demonstrate applications of the dichotomies for binary-action polymatrix games and several graph theory problems.
