Abstract

In this paper we study a max-min k-partition problem on a weighted graph, that could model a robust k-coalition formation. We settle the computational complexity of this problem as complete for class Σ2P. This hardness holds even for k=2 and arbitrary weights, or k=3 and non-negative weights, which matches what was known on MaxCut and Min-3-Cut one level higher in the polynomial hierarchy.
