Degree-Constrained -Minimum Spanning Tree Problem

Algorithm 1

Iterative procedure for solving (or )
Data: a problem instance of (or )
Result: the optimal solution of (or )
Solve (resp., ) without using any constraint of the form (33)
Find cycles on the resulting digraph obtained by using a depth-first search algorithm
While (no cycles remain in the optimal solution of (resp., )) do
 For each cycle found, write a new constraint of the form (33) and add it to the feasible set of (resp., )
 Solve (resp., )
Return: the optimal solution found and the objective function value
