The Color-balanced spanning tree problem

Š. Berežný and V. Lacko
Abstract:

Suppose a graph G = (V,E) whose edges are partitioned into p disjoint categories (colors) is given. In the color-balanced spanning tree problem a spanning tree is wanted that minimizes the variability in the number of edges from different categories. We show that polynomiality of this problem depends on the number p of categories and present some polynomial algorithm.
