The relation of Connected Set Cover and Group Steiner Tree
We report that the Connected Set Cover (CSC) problem is just a special case of the Group Steiner Tree (GST) problem. Based on that we obtain the first algorithm for CSC with polylogarithmic approximation guarantee as well as the first approximation algorithms for the weighted version of the problem and the version with requirements. Moreover, we argue that the inapproximability result of GST wi...
متن کاملAlgorithms for connected set cover problem and fault-tolerant connected set cover problem
Given a set V of elements, S a family of subsets of V , and G a connected graph on vertex set S,a connected set cover (CSC) is a subfamily R of S such that every element in V is covered by at least one set of R, and the subgraph G[R] of G induced by R is connected. If furthermore G[R] is k-connected and every element in V is covered by at least m sets inR, thenR is a (k,m)-CSC. In this paper, w...
متن کاملA note on 'Algorithms for connected set cover problem and fault-tolerant connected set cover problem'
A flaw in the greedy approximation algorithm proposed by Zhang et al. for minimum connected set cover problem is corrected, and a stronger result on the approximation ratio of the modified greedy algorithm is established. The results are now consistent with the existing results on connected dominating set problem which is a special case of the minimum connected set cover problem.
متن کاملComplexity and approximation of the connected set-cover problem
In this paper, we study the computational complexity and approximation complexity of the connected set-cover problem. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the connected set-cover problem to have a polynomial-time algorithm. We also present a sufficient condition for the existence of a (1 + ln δ)-approximation. In addition, one such (1 + ln δ)-approximation algorithm for this proble...
متن کاملConnected Domination and Steiner Set on Asteroidal Triple-Free Graphs
An asteroidal triple is a set of three independent vertices such that between any two of them there exists a path that avoids the neighl.)ourhood of the third. Graphs that do not. co~,tain an asteroidal triple are called asteroidal triple-free (AT-free) graphs. AT-free graphs strictly contain the well-known class of cocomparability graphs, and are not necessarily perfect.. We present efficient,...
