A note on 'Algorithms for connected set cover problem and fault-tolerant connected set cover problem'

A flaw in the greedy approximation algorithm proposed by Zhang et al. (2009) [1] for the minimum connected set cover problem is corrected, and a stronger result on the approximation ratio of the modified greedy algorithm is established. The results are now consistent with the existing results on the connected dominating set problem which is a special case of the minimum connected set cover problem.
