In this paper, we consider the problem of enumerating spanning subgraphs with high edge-connectivity of an input graph. Such subgraphs ensure multiple routes between two vertices. We first present an algorithm that enumerates all the 2-edge-connected spanning subgraphs of a given plane graph with n vertices. The algorithm generates each 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph of the input graph in O(n) time. We next present an algorithm that enumerates all the k-edge-connected spanning subgraphs of a given general graph with m edges. The algorithm generates each k-edge-connected spanning subgraph of the input graph in O(mT) time, where T is the running time to check the k-edge-connectivity of a graph.
This paper deals with the problem of enumerating 3-edge-connected spanning subgraphs of an input plane graph. In 2018, Yamanaka et al. proposed two enumeration algorithms for such a problem. Their algorithm generates each 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph of a given plane graph with n vertices in O(n) time, and another one generates each k-edge-connected spanning subgraph of a general graph with m edges in O(mT) time, where T is the running time to check the k-edge connectivity of a graph. This paper focuses on the case of the 3-edge-connectivity in a plane graph. We give an algorithm which generates each 3-edge-connected spanning subgraph of the input plane graph in O(n2) time. This time complexity is the same as the algorithm by Yamanaka et al., but our algorithm is simpler than theirs.
