Transitive reductions and minimal equivalent subgraphs have proven to be a powerful concept to simplify networks and to measure their redundancy. Here we consider a generalization of the minimal equivalent subgraph problem where a set of arcs is already given. For two digraphs D = (V,A), D′ = (V,A′) with A′ ⊆ A, we ask for the minimal set of edges of D that have to be added to D′ such that the transitive closure of D equals the transitive closure of D′.
We present a method to compute such an extension and show that if D is transitively closed, this problem can be solved in polynomial time.
