Our motivation is to improve on the best approximation guarantee known for the problem of finding a minimum-cost 2-node connected spanning subgraph of a given undirected graph with nonnegative edge costs. We present an LP (Linear Programming) relaxation based on partition constraints. The special case where the input contains a spanning tree of zero cost is called 2NC-TAP. We present a greedy algorithm for 2NC-TAP, and we analyze it via dual-fitting for our partition LP relaxation. Keywords: 2-node connected graphs, approximation algorithms, connectivity augmentation, greedy algorithm, network design, partition relaxation
