Distributed Approximation of Minimum k-edge-connected Spanning Subgraphs
In the minimum k-edge-connected spanning subgraph (k-ECSS) problem the goal is to find the minimum weight subgraph resistant to up to k-1 edge failures. This is a central problem in network design, and a natural generalization of the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem. While the MST problem has been studied extensively by the distributed computing community, for k ≥2 less is known in the distributed setting. In this paper, we present fast randomized distributed approximation algorithms for k-ECSS in the CONGEST model. Our first contribution is an Õ (D + √ )-round O(logn )-approximation for 2-ECSS, for a graph with n vertices and diameter D. The time complexity of our algorithm is almost tight and almost matches the time complexity of the MST problem. For larger constant values of k we give an Õ (n) -round O(logn ) -approximation. Additionally, in the special case of unweighted 3-ECSS we show how to improve the time complexity to O(D log^3n ) rounds. All our results significantly improve the time complexity of previous algorithms.
