Abstract

Given an edge weighted graph, and an acyclic edge set, the goal of the partial inverse maximum spanning tree problem is to modify the weight function as small as possible such that there exists a maximum spanning tree with respect to the new weight function containing the given edge set. In this paper, we consider this problem with capacitated constraint under the weighted \(l_{\infty }\)-norm. By studying the properties of the optimal value and a special kind of optimal solutions, combining the algorithm for the decision version of this problem with the Binary search method, we present a strongly polynomial-time algorithm for calculating the optimal value and an optimal solution.
