On the Approximability of the Steiner Tree Problem
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...

An Improved LP-based Approximation for Steiner Tree
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 ...

On the Covering Steiner Problem
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...

Hardness and Approximation of the Survivable Multi-Level Fat Tree Problem
—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...
