We discuss an efficient primal‐dual algorithm for finding a minimum cost edge cover in an undirected network G with n nodes and m edges, which is based on the blossom algorithm for 1‐matching problems. We establish that its worst case computational complexity is O ( n 3 ), the same as that for blossom or primal algorithms for 1‐matching problems.
