Özet
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Author. The journal previously published a corrigendum on behalf of the author that completed the analysis of Case 3 of Lemma 2 in the original publication. Further concerns about the study were raised by the author after the corrigendum published, which led to a full review of the manuscript by the Editor-in-Chief. After careful review, the analysis of the algorithm and the correctness proofs repeatedly use the inequality: OPT(G) ≥ OPT(G’) + l-1. This inequality is used first in the proof of Lemma 2 (Section 4) and is used repeatedly in the sequel of the paper. Unfortunately, the inequality does not hold in all input graphs. Without this inequality, the proofs of Section 4 are not valid and the claimed main results of the paper about improved approximation ratios do not hold. Due to the above concerns, the Editor-in-Chief of Theoretical Computer Science, Section A has decided to retract the paper.
