Balanced Graph Partitioning

This is an implementation of the paper Balanced Graph Partitioning (authors: Konstantin Andreev, Harald Racke).

Libraries installation Windows

The code was tested on python 3.5 with these additional libraries:

• numpy
• networkx
• python-igraph

In order to install them:

1. Open Python console

2. write pip install numpy and wait termination

3. write pip install networkx and wait termination

4. write pip install python-igraph and wait termination In case of failure of this last step: 1) go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-igraph 2) write in python console: "pip install path/to/igraph.whl"

5. Then the file to launch is "Balancer_Cut"

Results

Library installation Linux [Outdated]

The code wast tested on Python 2.7.11 because igraph library is not compatible with Python 2.7+ versions.

Requirements

On Linux (and other Unix-like systems), you will need a C and a C++ compiler, the tool "make" and the development header files for your version of Python. On Debian and Ubuntu Linux the "build-essential" and "python-dev" packages.

The code runs with these additional libraries:

• numpy
• networkx
• python-igraph

1. Open Python console

2. write pip install numpy and wait termination

3. write pip install networkx and wait termination [remember to install the library in the right Python version (2.7)]

4. write pip install python-igraph and wait termination In case of failure of this last step: 1) check "# Requirements" 2) follow instructions on this page http://igraph.wikidot.com/installing-python-igraph-on-linux [Ubuntu Linux version tested by us]

5. Then the file to launch is "Balancer_Cut"
