Abstract

We give a general framework to handle node-connectivity degree constrained problems. In particular, for the k-Outconnected Subgraph problem, for both directed and undirected graphs, our algorithm computes in polynomial time a solution J of cost O(logk) times the optimal, such that degJ(v)=O(2k) ·b(v) for all v∈V. Similar result are obtained for the Element-Connectivity and the k-Connected Subgraph problems. The latter is a significant improvement on the particular case of only degree-approximation and undirected graphs considered in [5]. In addition, for the edge-connectivity directed Degree-Constrainedk-Outconnected Subgraph problem, we slightly improve the best known approximation ratio, by a simple proof.
