We design a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) 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. The method of solution depends on a new metric placement partitioning method which could be also of independent interest.
