Abstract: In the {sc Min-Sum 2-Clustering} problem, we are given a graph and a parameter k, and the goal is to determine if there exists a 2-partition of the vertex set such that the total conflict number is at most k, where the conflict number of a vertex is the number of its non-neighbors in the same cluster and neighbors in the different cluster. The problem is equivalent to {sc 2-Cluster Editing} and {sc 2-Correlation Clustering} with an additional multiplicative factor two in the cost function. In this paper we show an algorithm for {sc Min-Sum 2-Clustering} with time complexity O(ncdot2.619r/(14r/n)+n3), where n is the number of vertices and r=k/n. Particularly, the time complexity is O(2.619k/n) for kino(n2) and polynomial for kinO(nlogn), which implies that the problem can be solved in subexponential time for kino(n2). We also design a parameterized algorithm for a variant in which the cost is the sum of the squared conflict-numbers. For kino(n3), the algorithm runs in subexponential O(n3cdot5.171heta) time, where heta=sqrtk/n.
