On Variants of the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint trees of depth at most 1, and its size is the number of leaves in all its components. A spanning star forest of a given graph G is ...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Star forests, dominating sets and Ramsey-type problems
A star forest of a graph G is a spanning subgraph of G in which each component is a star. The minimum number of edges required to guarantee that an arbitrary graph, or a bipartite...

An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
