Abstract

The NP complete problem of the graph bisection is a mayor problem occurring for example in the design of VLSI chips. This study presents a collection of methods to find solutions to the Graph Partitioning Problem. The aim of the study is to compare the quality of the solutions found with the different algorithms and the time spend to find the solutions. We will introduce the following algorithms:
