We introduce a concept of parameterizing a problem above the optimum solution of its natural linear programming relaxation and prove that the
node multiway cut
problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) in this setting. As a consequence we prove that node multiway cut is FPT, when parameterized above the maximum separating cut, resolving an open problem of Razgon.
