Creating and Exploiting Flexibility in Steiner Trees
This paper presents the concept of flexibility ? a geometric property associated with Steiner trees. Flexibility is related to the routability of the Steiner tree. We present an o...

Algorithms for Terminal Steiner Trees
The terminal Steiner tree problem (TST) consists of finding a minimum cost Steiner tree where each terminal is a leaf. We describe a factor 2ρ−ρ/(3ρ−2) approximation algor...

A Near Linear Time Approximation Scheme for Steiner Tree Among Obstacles in the Plane
We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner tree problem with polygonal obstacles in the plane with running time O(n log2 n), where n denotes the numb...

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...
