Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We finally evaluate our algorithm experimentally when it is applied as postprocessing for a state-of-the-art MAX c-CUT heuristic [Ma and Hao, 2017]. We show that, for a standard benchmark data set, a large fraction of the previously best solutions can be improved by our algorithm, leading to new record solutions for these instances.

Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms and methods in prose and through mathematical theorems, but it does not include any explicitly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not include an explicit statement about releasing source code for the methodology or provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes We used the graphs from the G-set benchmark (https: //web.stanford.edu/ yyye/yyye/Gset/), an established benchmark data set for MAX c-CUT with c {2, 3, 4} (and thus also for MAX CUT) [Benlic and Hao, 2013; Festa et al., 2002; Ma and Hao, 2017; Shylo et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2013; Zhu et al., 2013].
Dataset Splits No The paper describes using an 'initial solution' and improving it with a 'hill-climbing algorithm' on a benchmark dataset, but it does not specify any training, validation, or test dataset splits or cross-validation methodology.
Hardware Specification Yes Each experiment was performed on a single thread of an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4116 CPU with 2.1 GHz, 24 CPUs and 128 GB RAM.
Software Dependencies Yes In addition to LS, for each instance we ran standard ILP-formulations1 for MAX c-CUT (again with 30 minute time limit) using the Gurobi solver version 9.5.
Experiment Setup Yes For each of these graphs, we ran experiments for each c {2, 3, 4} with a time limit of 30 minutes and the published MOH solution as initial solution.
