The aim of edge editing or modification problems is to change a given graph by adding and deleting of a small number of edges in order to satisfy a certain property. We consider the Edge Editing to a Connected Graph of Given Degrees problem that asks for a graph G, non-negative integers d,k and a function δ:V(G)->{1,...,d}, whether it is possible to obtain a connected graph G' from G such that the degree of v is δ(v) for any vertex v by at most k edge editing operations. As the problem is NP-complete even if δ(v)=2, we are interested in the parameterized complexity and show that Edge Editing to a Connected Graph of Given Degrees admits a polynomial kernel when parameterized by d+k. For the special case δ(v)=d, i.e., when the aim is to obtain a connected d-regular graph, the problem is shown to be fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by k only.
