We show that it is not possible to approximate the minimum Steiner tree problem within 1 + 1 162 unless RP = NP. The currently best known lower bound is 1 + 1 400. The reduction i...
The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental ÆÈ-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum weight tree spanning ...

Abstract. We implement the approximation algorithm for the multicast congestion problem in communication networks in [14] based on the fast approximation algorithm for packing prob...
The Covering Steiner problem is a common generalization of the k-MST and Group Steiner problems. An instance of the Covering Steiner problem consists of an undirected graph with ed...
—With the explosive deployment of “triple play” (voice, video and data services) over the same access network, guaranteeing a certain-level of survivability for the access ne...
