Approximation algorithms for minimum-cost k-(S, T ) connected digraphs
We introduce a model for NP-hard problems pertaining to the connectivity of graphs, and design approximation algorithms for some of the key problems in this model. One of the well-known NP-hard problems is to find a minimum-cost strongly connected spanning subgraph of a directed network. In the minimum-cost k-(S, T ) connected digraph (abbreviated, k-(S, T ) connectivity) problem we are given a...
متن کاملAn Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Weight Vertex-Connectivity Problem in Complete Graphs with Sharpened Triangle Inequality
Consider a complete graph G with the edge weights satisfying the β-sharpened triangle inequality: weight(u, v) ≤ β(weight(u, x)+ weight(x, v)), for 1/2 ≤ β < 1. We study the NP-hard problem of finding a minimum weight spanning subgraph of G which is k-vertex-connected, k ≥ 2, and give a detailed analysis of an approximation quadratic-time algorithm whose performance ratio is β 1−β . The algorit...
متن کاملA Constant Factor Approximation for Minimum λ-Edge-Connected k-Subgraph with Metric Costs
In the (k, λ)-subgraph problem, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with edge costs and two positive integers k and λ and the goal is to find a minimum cost simple λ-edge-connected subgraph of G with at least k nodes. This generalizes several classical problems, such as the minimum cost k-Spanning Tree problem or k-MST (which is a (k, 1)-subgraph), and minimum cost λ-edge-connected span...

متن کاملA 2-Approximation Algorithm for Finding an Optimum 3-Vertex-Connected Spanning Subgraph
The problem of finding a minimum weight k-vertex connected spanning subgraph in a graph G = (V,E) is considered. For k ≥ 2, this problem is known to be NP-hard. Combining properties of inclusionminimal k-vertex connected graphs and of k-out-connected graphs (i.e., graphs which contain a vertex from which there exist k internally vertex-disjoint paths to every other vertex), we derive an auxilia...
