Abstract
We exhibite a polynomial algorithm which, given a cubic graph with positive weights on the edges, finds a maximal edge-cut(whose total weight may not be improved by moving a single vertex from one “side” of the cut to the other “side”).
This complements a recent result of A.A.Schäffer and M. Yannakakis that maximal cut problem is complete in the class of the local search problems.
