Abstract

We consider an augmentation problem on undirected and directed graphs, where given a directed (an undirected) graph G and p pairs of vertices $$P=\left\{ {\left( {s_1 ,t_1 } \right) ,\ldots ,\left( {s_p ,t_p } \right) } \right\} $$ P = s 1 , t 1 , … , s p , t p , one has to find the minimum weight set of arcs (edges) to be added to the graph so that the resulting graph has (can be oriented to have) directed paths between the specified pairs of vertices. In the undirected case, we present an FPT-algorithm with respect to the number of new edges. Also, we have implemented and evaluated the algorithm on some real-world networks to show its efficiency in decreasing the size of input graphs and converting them to much smaller kernels. In the directed case, we consider the complexity of the problem with respect to the various parameters and present some parameterized algorithms and parameterized complexity results for it.
