Augmenting Graphs to Minimize the Radius

Authors: Joachim Gudmundsson, Yuan Sha, and Fan Yao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract

We study the problem of augmenting a metric graph by adding k edges while minimizing the radius of the augmented graph. We give a simple 3-approximation algorithm and show that there is no polynomial-time (5/3-ε)-approximation algorithm, for any ε > 0, unless P = NP. We also give two exact algorithms for the special case when the input graph is a tree, one of which is generalized to handle metric graphs with bounded treewidth.
