Summary:Abstract: "We develop an easily computable lower bound for the Weighted Graph 2-Partitioning Problem and its generalization to the Weighted Graph k-Partitioning Problem. The bound is an improvement of a previously published bound by the first and last author. The complexity of the general lower-bound computation is O(kn²). In the case of graph 2- partitioning the complexity of the lower-bound computation is O(m+n). The on-line complexity of computing the increase in the lower bound when a new vertex is assigned to one set of a partial 2-partitioning can be reduced to O(n) if O(n) partial results from the previous lower-bound computation are stored, and if the sequence of vertex assignments is fixed. A Branch-and- Bound algorithm based hereon is implemented and preliminary computational results are reported."
