- In routing, finding a rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT) is a fundamental problem. Today's design often contains rectilinear obstacles, like macro cells, IP blocks, and...
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...
Octagonal Steiner Minimal Trees (OSMTs) are used in the global routing phase of pervasive octagonal VLSI layout. The OSMT problem seeks a minimal length spanning structure using e...
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on a plane, an obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) connects these pins, possibly through some additional points (...
We consider the problem of connecting given vertex pairs over a stochastic metric graph, each vertex of which has a probability of presence independently of all other ver
