摘要: We present the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for finding a minimum-cost subgraph having at least specified number of edges in each cut. This class problems includes, among others, generalized Steiner network problem, also called survivable design problem. Ifk is maximum cut requirement our solution comes within factor 2k optimal. Our primal-dual and shows importance this technique designing algorithms.
