Abstract

We prove the NP--hardness of the following decision problem: given a complete graph with edge weights w_ein {mathbb Z}_+ , kin {mathbb Z}_+ , and w^starin {mathbb Z}_+ . Does there exist an edge induced subgraph with exactly k nodes and total weight at least w^star while each connected component is a star, i.e. a tree of depth 1.
