Title
Maximum-Cover Source-Location Problem with Objective Edge-Connectivity Three
Abstract
Given a graph G = (V, E), a set of vertices S subset of V covers a vertex v is an element of V if the edge-connectivity between S and v is at least a given number k. Vertices in S are called sources. The maximum-cover source location problem, which is a variation of the source location problem, is to find a source set S with a given size at most p, maximizing the sum of the weight of vertices covered by S. In this paper, we show a polynomial-time algorithm for this problem in the case of k = 3 for a given undirected graph with a vertex weight function and an edge capacity function. Moreover, we show that this problem is NP-hard even if vertex weights and edge capacities are both uniform for general k.
