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
We address the problem of designing a network so that certain connectivity requirements are satisfied, at minimum cost of the edges used. The requirements are specified for each subset of vertices in terms of the number of edges with one endpoint in the set. We address a class of such problems, wher
