摘要
The network substitution problem is to substitute an existing network for a new network so that to minimize the cost of exploiting the existing network during the period when the new network is being constructed. We show that this problem is NP-hard, and propose a 2-approximation algorithm for solving it. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
