In their seminal paper, Frank and Jordà an show that a large class of optimization problems including certain directed edge augmentation ones fall into the class of covering supermodular functions over pairs of sets. They also give an algorithm for such problems, however, that relies on the ellipsoi
The problem of finding a minimum augmenting edge-set to make a graph k-vertex connected is considered. This problem is denoted as the minimum k-augmentation problem. For weighted graphs, the minimum k-augmentation problem is NP-complete. Our main result is an approximation algorithm with a performan
