Finding highly connected subgraphs of low weight

The problem of finding the minimum weight k-edge connected spanning subgraph of a mixed graph is NP-hard for every k >= 1, and, for k >= 2, the best approximation ratio known so far is 4. We analyze several approaches to the general k-ECSS problem of mixed graphs.

For the special case in which undirected edges have no higher weights than directed edges, we achieve a factor 3.75 approximation.

Further, we give several examples on which the analyzed algorithms perform poorly.
