Abstract: Spanning tree congestion is a relatively new graph parameter, whichhas been studied intensively. This paper studies the complexity of the problemto determine the spanning tree congestion for non-sparse graph classes, while itwas investigated for some sparse graph classes before. We prove that the problemis NP-hard even for chain graphs and split graphs. To cope with the hardnessof the problem, we present a fast (exponential-time) exact algorithm that runs inO ^∗(2^n) time, where n denotes the number of vertices. Additionally, we providea constant-factor approximation algorithm for cographs, and a linear-time algorithmfor chordal cographs.
