Maximum Cut Parameterized by Crossing Number

Given an edge-weighted graph G on n nodes, the NP-hard Max-Cut problem asks for a node bipartition such that the sum of edge weights joining the different partitions is maximized. We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm parameterized by the number k of crossings in a given drawing of G. Our algorithm achieves a running time of O(2^k p(n + k)), where p is the polynomial running time for planar Max-Cut. The only previously known similar algorithm [8] is restricted to 1-planar graphs (i.e., at most one crossing per edge) and its dependency on k is of order 3^k . A direct consequence of our result is that Max-Cut is fixed-parameter tractable w.r.t. the crossing number, even without a given drawing.
