N2 - We present new decomposition heuristics for finding the optimal solution for the maximum-weight connected graph problem, which is known to be NP-hard. Previous optimal algorithms for solving the problem decompose the input graph into subgraphs using heuristics based on node degree. We propose new heuristics based on betweenness centrality measures, and show through computational experiments that our new heuristics tend to reduce the number of subgraphs in the decomposition, and therefore could lead to the reduction in computational time for finding the optimal solution. The method is further applied to analysis of biological pathway data.
