            Revision notes

            We improved the Lemma 1 according to the comments of the reviewer Sergi Simon. Besides, we added a Discussion section where we contributed and included important remarks to the final result. In addition, we picked up the discipline of "Data structures and Algorithms" since it is very close to the scope of the paper as well.

            With the help of the reviewer Sergi Simon, we detected a minor detail in this last version. However, that issue was a very simple and small mistake that I commited when I was writing the paper and so, it does not deserve a third version. I fixed and replaced the following statement in latex (over the definition of the K-CLOSURE problem):

            --------------------------------

            Note that in this problem the statement ``either $u \in V'$ or $v \notin V'$'' does mean the same as ($u \in V'$ or $v \in V'$) or ($u \notin V'$ or $v \notin V'$) since the logical implication of the word ``\textbf{Either}'' indicates that at least one of the following statements must be true, but not necessarily both.

            -------------------------------

            by the correct one:

            ------------------------------

            Note that in this problem the phrase ``either $u \in V'$ or $v \notin V'$'' does mean the same as ($u \in V'$ and $v \in V'$) or ($u \notin V'$ and $v \notin V'$) since the logical implication of the words ``\textbf{either ... or ...}'' indicates that exactly one of the following statements can be true.

            ------------------------------

            As you can see it is only one sentence, but the paper would be perfect after that. You may check this change in the following preprint:

            I hope this can be taken into account by the readers for their final moment of evaluating this version,
