A Group-Strategyproof Cost Sharing Mechanism for the Steiner Forest Game
We consider a game-theoretical variant of the Steiner forest problem in which each player j, out of a set of k players, strives to connect his terminal pair (sj, tj) of vertices in...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

A constant-factor approximation for stochastic Steiner forest
We consider the stochastic Steiner forest problem: suppose we were given a collection of Steiner forest instances, and were guaranteed that a random one of these instances would a...
