Consider the minimum size k-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem: given a positive integer k and a k-edge-connected graph G, find a k-edge-connected spanning subgraph of G with the minimum number of edges. This problem is known to be NP-complete. Khuller and Raghavachari presented the first algo

โฆ Synopsis
Motivated by the problem of supporting energy-efficient broadcasting in ad hoc wireless networks, we study the Minimum Energy Consumption Broadcast Subgraph (MECBS) problem. We present the first logarithmic approximation algorithm for the problem which uses an interesting reduction to Node-Weighted Connected Dominating Set.

A linear time 5 3 -approximation algorithm is presented for the NP-hard problem of finding a minimum strongly-connected spanning subgraph. It is based on cycle contraction that was first introduced by Khuller, Raghavachari and Young [SIAM J. Comput. 24 (1995) 859-872]. We improve their result by con
