Abstract

We introduce the minimum labelling spanning bi-connected subgraph problem (MLSBP) replacing connectivity by bi-connectivity in the well known minimum labelling spanning tree problem (MLSTP). A graph is bi-connected if, for every two vertices, there are, at least, two vertex-disjoint paths joining them. The problem consists in finding the spanning bi-connected subgraph or block with minimum set of labels. We adapt the exact method of the MLSTP to solve the MLSTB and the basic greedy constructive heuristic, the maximum vertex covering algorithm (MVCA). This proce- dure is a basic component in the application of metaheuristics to solve the problem.
