In this paper we study the problem of augmenting a physical network to improve the topology for new survivable network architectures. We are given a graph G=(V,E,F), where V is a set of nodes that represents transmission systems which be interconnected by physical links, and E is a collection of edges that represent the possible pairs of nodes between which a direct transmission link can be placed. F, a subset of E is defined as a set of the existing direct links, and E/F is defined as a set of edges for the possible new connection. The cost of establishing network $N_{H}$=(V,H,F) is defined by the sum of the costs of the individual links contained in new link set H. We call that $N_{H}$=(V,H,F) is feasible if certain connectivity constrints can be satisfied in $N_{H}$=(V,H,F). The computational goal for the suggested model is to find a minimum cost network among the feasible solutions. For a k edge (node) connected component S .subeq. F, we charactrize some optimality conditions with respect to S. By this characterization we can find part of the network that formed by only F-edges. We do not need to augment E/F edges for these components in an optimal solution. Hence we shrink the related component into a node. We study some good primal heuristics by considering construction and exchange ideas. For the construction heuristics, we use some greedy methods and relaxation methods. For the improvement heuristics we generalize known exchange heuristics such as two-optimal cycle, three-optimal cycle, pretzel, quezel and one-optimal heuristics. Some computational experiments show that our heuristic is more efficient than some well known heuristics.stics.
