Abstract

We study the problem of covering the vertices of an undirected weighted graph with a given number of trees (cycles, paths) to minimize the weight of the maximum weight tree (cycle, path). Improved inapproximability lower bounds are proved and better approximation algorithms are designed for several variants of this problem.
