We design the first polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for the problem of Metric MIN-BISECTION of dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize the sum of distances across that partition.Our approximation schemes depend on a novel hybrid metric placement method and a new application of linearized quadratic programs.
