This paper considers the problem of augmenting a given graph by a cheapest possible set of additional edges in order to make the graph vertex-biconnected. A real-world instance of this problem is the enhancement of an already established computer network to become robust against single node failures. The presented memetic algorithm includes an effective preprocessing of problem data and a fast local improvement strategy which is applied during initialization, mutation, and recombination. Only feasible, locally optimal solutions are created as candidates. Empirical results indicate the superiority of the new approach over two previous heuristics and an earlier evolutionary method.
