Abstract

Groetschel, Lovasz, Schrijver gave an algorithm for minimising submodular

functions using the ellipsoid method and left open the question of obtaining
a combinatorial algorithm for this problem. Recent work by Fleischer et.al.,
Schrijver and Iwata has led to combinatorial algorithms for this problem.
I will try and present some of this work.
