Title
On the integrality ratio for tree augmentation
Abstract
We show that the standard linear programming relaxation for the tree augmentation problem in undirected graphs has an integrality ratio that approaches 32. This refutes a conjecture of Cheriyan, Jordan, and Ravi [J. Cheriyan, T. Jordan, R. Ravi, On 2-coverings and 2-packings of laminar families, in: Proceedings, European Symposium on Algorithms, 1999, pp. 510-520. A longer version is on the web: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/jcheriyan/publications.html] that the integrality ratio is 43.
