When the graph is a tree the problem is approximable within 2 and
is A
PX
-complete even for trees of height one and unit edge weight
[
126
].
The variation in which vertices instead of edges should be deleted
is also approximable within
[
127
].
The variation in which the input specifies a set of demand edges and a
given node
and the solution must be a feasible
-cut,
i.e., the demand edges must either be in the cut or have both
endpoints on the opposite part of
is approximable within
2.8 [
348
].
