: We discuss a new approach to constructing the rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) of a given set of points in the plane, starting from a minimum spanning tree (MST). The main idea in ...
In this paper we present a sublinear time (1+ )-approximation randomized algorithm to estimate the weight of the minimum spanning tree of an n-point metric space. The running time...
This article comprises the first theoretical and computational study on mixed integer programming (MIP) models for the connected facility location problem (ConFL). ConFL combines...
