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...

Approximating Spanning Trees with Inner Nodes Cost
We consider the practical NP-complete problem of finding a minimum weight spanning tree with both edge weights and inner nodes weights. We present two polynomial time algorithms ...
