Abstract

This article studies the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem under Explorable Uncertainty as well as a related vertex uncertainty version of the problem. We particularly consider special instance types, including cactus graphs, for which we provide randomized algorithms. We introduce the problem of finding a minimum weight spanning star under uncertainty for which we show that no algorithm can achieve constant competitive ratio.
