The algorithms output the approximate or exact sizekin timeO(1) and a cut of sizekin time linear in its size. For the minimum edge cut problem and for any 0 < ε ≤ 1, the amortized time per insertion isO(1/ε2) for a (2 + ε)-approximation,O((log λ)((log n)/ε)2) for a (1 + ε)-approximation, andO(λ log n) for the exact size, wherenis the number of nodes in the graph and λ is the size of the minimum cut. The (2 + ε)-approximation algorithm and the exact algorithm are deterministic; the (1 + ε)-approximation algorithm is randomized. We also present a static 2-approximation algorithm for the size κ of the minimum vertex cut in a graph, which takes time. This is a factor of κ faster than the best algorithm for computing the exact size, which takes time. We give an insertions-only algorithm for maintaining a (2 + ε)-approximation of the minimum vertex cut with amortized insertion timeO(n/ε).","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0196-6774"]},"doi":"10.1006/jagm.1997.0855","title":"A static 2-approximation algorithm for vertex connectivity and incremental approximation algorithms for edge and vertex connectivity","date_updated":"2022-09-12T09:15:38Z","month":"07","author":[{"id":"540c9bbd-f2de-11ec-812d-d04a5be85630","orcid":"0000-0002-5008-6530","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Monika H","first_name":"Monika H"}],"volume":24,"_id":"11765","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"1997-07-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"Journal of Algorithms","publication_status":"published","day":"01","date_created":"2022-08-08T12:18:38Z","citation":{"chicago":"Henzinger, Monika H. “A Static 2-Approximation Algorithm for Vertex Connectivity and Incremental Approximation Algorithms for Edge and Vertex Connectivity.” Journal of Algorithms.
