In the Steiner Tree Augmentation Problem (STAP), we are given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a set of terminals $R \subseteq V$, and a Steiner tree $T$ spanning $R$. The edges $L := E \setminus E(T)$ are called links and have non-negative costs. The…

A split graph is a graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and a stable set. Given a graph $G$ and weight function $w: V(G) \to \mathbb{Q}_{\geq 0}$, the Split Vertex Deletion (SVD) problem asks to find a minimum weight set…

We consider connectivity augmentation problems in the Steiner setting, where the goal is to augment the edge-connectivity between a specified subset of terminal nodes. In the Steiner Augmentation of a Graph problem ($k$-SAG), we are given a…

Let $d_u$ be the degree of a vertex $u$ of a graph $G$. The atom-bond sum-connectivity (ABS) index of a graph $G$ is the sum of the numbers $(1-2(d_v+d_w)^{-1})^{1/2}$ over all edges $vw$ of $G$. This paper gives the characterization of the…

Edge connectivity and vertex connectivity are two fundamental concepts in graph theory. Although by now there is a good understanding of the structure of graphs based on their edge connectivity, our knowledge in the case of vertex…

The basic goal of survivable network design is to construct low-cost networks which preserve a sufficient level of connectivity despite the failure or removal of a few nodes or edges. One of the most basic problems in this area is the…

For any undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $E_W$ of candidate edges with $E\cap E_W=\emptyset$, the $(k,\gamma)$-spectral augmentability problem is to find a set $F$ of $k$ edges from $E_W$ with appropriate weighting, such that the…
