This paper presents a canonical dual approach for finding either an optimal or approximate solution to the maximum cut problem (MAX CUT). We show that, by introducing a linear perturbation term to the objective function, the maximum cut problem is perturbed to have a dual problem which is a...

We consider a model whereby players compete for a set of shared resources to produce and sell substitute products in the same market, which can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Cournot oligopolistic competition model, or, from a different angle, the Wardrop type routing model. In...
