Abstract

The algebraic connectivity of a graph, which is the second-smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of the graph, is a measure of connectivity. We show that the problem of adding a specified number of edges to an input graph to maximize the algebraic connectivity of the augmented graph is NP-hard.
