Approximation Algorithms for Some Optimum Communication Spanning Tree Problems
Let G = (V; E; w) be an undirected graph with nonnegative edge length function w and nonnegative vertex weight function r. The optimal product-requirement communication spanning t...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Weighted Planar Graph TSP
Given a planar graph on n nodes with costs weights on its edges, de ne the distance between nodes i and j as the length of the shortest path between i and j. Consider this as an i...

Lower bounds for the relative greedy algorithm for approximating Steiner trees
Abstract. The Steiner tree problem is to find a shortest subgraph that spans a given set of vertices in a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard and it is well known that a pol...
