A graph property is monotone if it is closed under removal of vertices and edges. In this paper we consider the following algorithmic problem, called the edge-deletion problem; given a monotone property $\mathcal{P}$ and a graph $G$, compute the smallest number of edge deletions that are needed in order to turn $G$ into a graph satisfying $\mathcal{P}$. We denote this quantity by $E’_{\mathcal{P}}(G)$. The first result of this paper states that the edge-deletion problem can be efficiently approximated for any monotone property.
