Wu and Grumbach introduced the concept of strongly biconnected directed graphs. A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is called strongly biconnected if the directed graph $G$ is strongly connected and the underlying undirected graph of $G$ is…
A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is strongly biconnected if $G$ is strongly connected and its underlying graph is biconnected. A strongly biconnected directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $2$-vertex-strongly biconnected if $|V|\geq 3$ and the…
Given a $2$-vertex-twinless connected directed graph $G=(V,E)$, the minimum $2$-vertex-twinless connected spanning subgraph problem is to find a minimum cardinality edge subset $E^{t} \subseteq E$ such that the subgraph $(V,E^{t})$ is…
Let $G$ be a strongly connected directed graph. We consider the following three problems, where we wish to compute the smallest strongly connected spanning subgraph of $G$ that maintains respectively: the $2$-edge-connected blocks of $G$…
A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is called strongly biconnected if $G$ is strongly connected and the underlying graph of $G$ is biconnected. A strongly biconnected component of a strongly connected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a maximal vertex subset…
A directed graph G = (V,E) is singly connected if for any two vertices v, u of V, the directed graph G contains at most one simple path from v to u. In this paper, we study different algorithms to find a feasible but necessarily optimal…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a strongly connected graph with $|V|\geq 3$. For $T\subseteq V$, the strongly connected graph $G$ is $2$-T-connected if $G$ is $2$-edge-connected and for each vertex $w$ in $T$, $w$ is not a strong articulation point. This…
A strongly connected graph is strongly biconnected if after ignoring the direction of its edges we have an undirected graph with no articulation points. A 3-vertex strongly biconnected graph is a strongly biconnected digraph that has the…
A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is called strongly biconnected if $G$ is strongly connected and the underlying graph of $G$ is biconnected. This class of directed graphs was first introduced by Wu and Grumbach. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a strongly…
A labelled, undirected graph is a graph whose edges have assigned labels, from a specific set. Given a labelled, undirected graph, the well-known minimum labelling spanning tree problem is aimed at finding the spanning tree of the graph…
A mixed graph $G$ is a graph that consists of both undirected and directed edges. An orientation of $G$ is formed by orienting all the undirected edges of $G$, i.e., converting each undirected edge $\{u,v\}$ into a directed edge that is…
We provide algorithms for the minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem and the minimum 2-vertex-connected spanning subgraph problem with approximation ratio both $\frac{4}{3}$. Using a common theme, the algorithms and their…
We present a $\frac{10}{7}$-approximation algorithm for the minimum two-vertex-connected spanning subgraph problem.
Given a directed simple graph G=(V,E) and a nonnegative-valued cost function the power of a vertex u in a directed spanning subgraph H is given by the maximum cost of an arcs of H exiting u. The power of H is the sum of the power of its…
In this paper, we investigate some basic connectivity problems in directed graphs (digraphs). Let $G$ be a digraph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, and let $G\setminus e$ be the digraph obtained after deleting edge $e$ from $G$. As a first…
In general the problem of finding a miminum spanning tree for a weighted directed graph is difficult but solvable. There are a lot of differences between problems for directed and undirected graphs, therefore the algorithms for undirected…
We consider problems to make a given bidirected graph strongly connected with minimum cardinality of additional signs or additional arcs. For the former problem, we show the minimum number of additional signs and give a linear-time…
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…
We solve the following problem: Can an undirected weighted graph G be parti- tioned into two non-empty induced subgraphs satisfying minimum constraints for the sum of edge weights at vertices of each subgraph? We show that this is possible…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a twinless strongly connected graph. a vertex $v\in V$ is a twinless articulation point if the subrgraph obtained from $G$ by removing the vertex $v$ is not twinless strongly connected. An edge $e\in E$ is a twinless bridge…
