New Geometry-Inspired Relaxations and Algorithms for the Metric Steiner Tree Problem
Abstract. Determining the integrality gap of the bidirected cut relaxation for the metric Steiner tree problem, and exploiting it algorithmically, is a long-standing open problem. ...

A new heuristic for rectilinear Steiner trees
The minimum rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is one of the fundamental problems in the field of electronic design automation. The problem is NP-hard, and much work has been ...

Integrality ratio for group Steiner trees and directed steiner trees
The natural relaxation for the Group Steiner Tree problem, as well as for its generalization, the Directed Steiner Tree problem, is a flow-based linear programming relaxation. We...

Approximate k-MSTs and k-Steiner Trees via the Primal-Dual Method and Lagrangean Relaxation
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...

Combining a Memetic Algorithm with Integer Programming to Solve the Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree Problem
The prize-collecting Steiner tree problem on a graph with edge costs and vertex profits asks for a subtree minimizing the sum of the total cost of all edges in the subtree plus th...
