Abstract

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a finite connected undirected graph and W@?V(G) a subset of vertices. We are searching for a subset X@?V(G) such that W@?X and the subgraph induced on X is a tree. NP-completeness results and polynomial time algorithms are given assuming that the cardinality of W is fixed or not. Besides we give complexity results when X has to induce a path or when G is a weighted graph. We also consider problems where the cardinality of X has to be minimized.
